Iconic American filmmaker Kenneth Anger has inspired generations of creative storytellers since the late 1940s.

In-between these extremes we find a person who never tires of exploring his own creativity. In this intimate documentary, Anger lets us in on his fascinating life story, his approaches to filmmaking, and his relationship to British occultist Aleister Crowley.
Welcome to 2023 Halloween Party at Film Noir Cinema.
The screening of a secret horror film will follow after the reception.
