The legendary filmmaker and writer Kenneth Anger comes to AV Festival. Anger is a pioneering force in avant-garde cinema and a prolific writer about Hollywood’s rich and famous, including his 1959 book Hollywood Babylon. Creating films since the 1940s, his work explores themes of ritualistic transformation, counterculture and the occult and has influenced a generation of filmmakers including Martin Scorsese, Gus Van Sant and Guy Maddin. His extraordinary career includes helping Alfred Kinsey of the Institute for Sex Research build his film archive. Anger has recently made several new films including Mouse Heaven (2004), a montage of toys from the 1930s and Ich Will! (2008) a visual poem about Hitler Youth that he researched over a ten year period in historical archives.
