Short Films of Kenneth Anger: Forever Hollywood Cemetery Screens Rabbit’s Moon
This past Sunday night, Cinespia screened several short films of Kenneth Anger at the Hollywood Forever cemetery. I can think of few better ways to see these films, any of them really, than under the stars in a cemetery with silhouetted palms swooping overhead like gigantic Seussian creations.
Among my favorites is a shorter work whose final edit was made by Anger in 1979. Not touched since the previous (second) edit from 1972, Anger pared down the songs to Andy Arthurs “It Came in the Night,” rather than the original mini-soundtrack that featured several 60’s pop and doo-wop songs that loosely toyed with the themes of night and moonlight.
