Kenneth Anger – Three Films From The Magick Lantern Cycle
NC

Phantoscope

75 mins – United States 1969/1963/1980 – Experimental
Director: Kenneth Anger
Starring: Kenneth Anger, Marianne Faithful and Donald Cammell


INVOCATION OF MY DEMON BROTHER / SCORPIO RISING / LUCIFER RISING

Phantoscope, Triskel’s quarterly experimental film programme, presents three timeless classics of underground cinema by Kenneth Anger, one of the most influential visionaries of not only experimental film but of cinema in general. His visually dazzling, witty and unsettling films take influence from the occult teachings of Aleister Crowley as well as cues from both high and popular culture to cast delirious cinematic spells that remain as bewitching today as when they were first made. The legendary SCORPIO RISING follows a biker gang’s orgiastic gathering spiralling into hysteria and death, while being perhaps the most notable harbinger of the modern music video. Set to a jarring score by Mick Jagger, INVOCATION OF MY DEMON BROTHER is perhaps the darkest of Anger’s ritual films and a haunting document of 1960s San Francisco counterculture. The magisterial LUCIFER RISING adopts a more raptly cosmic tone as Egyptian gods summon the angel Lucifer to usher in a new age.
