Remembering Films by Kenneth Anger - Notes - e-flux
Lukas Brasiskis pens an obituary for Kenneth Anger and his work.
Kenneth Anger, one of the key figures in American avant-garde cinema, passed away on May 11. His legacy endures in a distinct body of films and in an array of enigmatic stories, some woven from the threads of reality, others spun from the fabric of dreams and fictions. Since the very beginning of his foray into filmmaking in the late 1940s, Anger’s distinctive style, replete with explorations of sexuality and its diverse iconographies, has set him apart from the mainstream norms of American cinema.
