Kenneth Anger: Magick Lantern Cycle
Film-maker Kenneth Anger had a decades long career and influenced other directors and was foundational in creating post war queer and underground films in the US. All this despite never making a full feature film and with a legacy of fragmentary and abandoned work. We discuss the films in the BFI's Magick Lantern Cycle collection, and consider his mythology, controversies and influence.
