Kenneth Anger, an American experimental filmmaker, actor, and novelist, was born on February 3, 1927, and he passed away on May 11, 2023.
He only made short films, and since 1937, he has created over 40 of them, nine of which have been compiled as the “Magick Lantern Cycle.”
Anger’s films have been characterized as having “elements of erotica, documentary, psychodrama, and spectacle” and combine surrealism with homoeroticism and the occult in diverse ways.
He has been referred to be “one of America’s first openly gay filmmakers” and had a number of films produced prior to the American legalization of homosexual conduct between consenting adults.
As a follower of Aleister Crowley’s religion, Thelema, and a guy who was attracted by him, Anger also emphasized esoteric elements in several of his movies.
Anger claimed to have been a child actress who performed in the 1935 movie A Midsummer Night’s Dream after being born to a middle-class Presbyterian family in Santa Monica, California,[4] although the veracity of this claim is contested.
