“Kenneth Anger is usually associated with his scandalous Hollywood Babylon oeuvre, but while the books are legendary, his filmic eye is every bit as impressive. MoCA hosts the first major retrospective of Anger's work in his hometown of Los Angeles, featuring films from his Magick Lantern Cycle, along with personal memorabilia such as photographs, scrapbooks, and other items that give the public a better understanding of a classically complex, but no less compelling, film icon.”

Note:
Tickets for opening night are $25 per person; free for MoCA members.
Kenneth Anger: Icons will showcase the films, books, and artwork of one of the most original filmmakers of postwar American cinema. A defining presence of underground art and culture and a major influence on generations of filmmakers, musicians, and artists, Anger's films evoke the power of spells or incantations, combining experimental technique with popular song, rich color, and subject matter drawn equally from personal obsession, myth, and the occult.
