At long last, THE FILMS OF KENNETH ANGER VOLUME 1 is finally available on
DVD this January.

Fantoma Films’ special edition DVD hits stores on January 23, 2007.

“It’s time that Kenneth Anger’s work became more available, because he is,
without a doubt, one of our greatest artists.” – Martin Scorsese

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 a spell or incantation.

Covering the first half of Anger’s career, from his landmark debut FIREWORKS
in 1947 to his epic bacchanalia INAUGURATION 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 anywhere in the world.

In production for over 5 years, THE FILMS OF KENNETH ANGER VOLUME 1 is
easily the most requested title in Fantoma Films’ history. Painstakingly
restored by Fantoma, these shorts represent the beginning of the independent
film movement as we know it today and Anger’s revolutionary use of blending
film to music has often been credited as giving birth to the music video.
The films contained in this set include: FIREWORKS (1947), PUCE MOMENT
(1949), RABBIT’S MOON (1950, shown here in the rarely seen 16 minute
version), EAUX D’ARTIFICE (1953), and INAUGURATION OF THE PLEASURE DOME
(1954).

THE FILMS OF KENNETH ANGER VOLUME 1 contains the following special features:

-High Definition transfers from newly restored elements.

-Screen specific audio commentary for all films from Kenneth Anger.

-Rare outtakes and behind-the-scenes images.

-Restoration Demonstrations.

-A 48 page book with a written appreciation of Kenneth Anger by legendary
filmmaker Martin Scorsese, exclusive to this release, extensive notes for
each film, rare photos, never before seen sketches for Anger’s unproduced
film PUCE WOMEN, and more.

Fantoma Films’ DVD of THE FILMS OF KENNETH ANGER VOLUME 1 will be available
in stores on January 23, 2007 for a retail price of $24.98.
