The Films of Kenneth Anger, Volume One:

Cinematic magician, legendary provocateur, author of the infamous HOLLYWOOD
BABYLON books and creator of some of the most striking and beautiful works
in the history of film, Kenneth Anger is a singular figure in post-war
American culture. A major influence on everything from the films of Martin
Scorsese, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and David Lynch to the pop art of Andy
Warhol to MTV, Anger's work serves as a talisman of universal symbols and
personal obsessions, combining myth, artifice and ritual to render cinema
with the power of spell or incantation.

Covering the first half of Anger's career, from his landmark debut FIREWORKS
in 1947 to his epic bacchanalia INAGURATION OF THE PLEASURE DOME, Fantoma is
very proud to present the long-awaited first volume of films by this
revolutionary and groundbreaking maverick, painstakingly restored and
presented on DVD for the first time.

Contains the films:
Fireworks (1947)
Puce Moment (1949)
Rabbit's Moon (1950, the rarely seen original 16 minute version)
Eaux d'Artifice (1953)
Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954)
Further Information:

-High-definition transfers from newly restored elements
-Screen specific audio commentary by Kenneth Anger
-Rare outtakes and behind-the-scenes images
-36 page hard-cover book, featuring written appreciations for each film by
famous filmmakers, never before seen sketches and plans for unproduced
films, and more
-Much more!
