Experimental Filmmaker and Counterculture Icon Kenneth Anger Dies at 96
Kenneth Anger, a pioneer of avant-garde and queer cinema, has died at the age of 96. Anger's experimental films, including "Fireworks" and "Scorpio Rising," explored themes of homoeroticism, Tinseltown glamour, and the occult. He also wrote the scandalous "Hollywood Babylon" books, which chronicled the dark side of the film industry. Despite never achieving mainstream success, Anger's films influenced modern music videos and directors such as Martin Scorsese and John Waters.
