Kenneth Anger
Magick Lantern Cycle: 2 Disc Set
Anger, Kenneth
Renowned as the author of the scandalous best-selling book Hollywood
Babylon, Kenneth Anger is a legend in this own time. The mythology
that has grown around him has many sources, from his involvement
with the occult, astrology and the pop world of Mick Jagger,
Marianne Faithfull and Jimmy Page, to the announcement of his own
death in the pages of the Village Voice, and the destruction, loss
and banning of his films. At the heart of all this mythology is a
filmmaker of prodigious talent, whose skill and imagination create
films of great visual force, influencing filmmakers such as Martin
Scorsese, David Lynch and RW Fassbinder.

* Fireworks (1947)
* Puce Moment (1949)

"The Chiapas
Collection" consists in the one dvd edition of all video works
by SEGNALE DIGITALE and A FEW STEPS PRODUCTIONS, from
the middle nineties until 2000, pointed on analysis and testimonies
about the realization and denunciation of the bad life conditions
for indios of Chiapas, Mexico.
"Esto
es Chiapas",
a documentary
which has been realised between 1995 and 1997, springs out
of two long and difficult research and documentation trips
in Chiapas and reports the overstanding of 1994, showing
points of view, problems, real life and motivations of the
indios from Chiapas, live and directly by the voices of the
indios themselves, by the interviews of the writer Oscar
Oliva and Juan Banuelos , and also by the testimonies of
EZLN commanders and Subcommander Marcos.
"Asesinados"
is a
documentation and protestation video and at the same time a strong
act of denounciation towards the State of Mexico, his
representatives and executors in the Chiapas area.
"Let's
talk about politics" is an experimental movie produced in Mexico
in 1996 with the partecipation of Steven Brown; it shows an
hypothetical and metaphorical meeting between the opposing
delegations of the ethnic group of the indios, and the improbable
representatives of an hypothetic south american country. |
