Incomplete Filmography

Hello! I noticed a few of Kenneth Anger's later films are missing from this article's filmography section. I made a few changes, according to IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001910/), but they were unfortunately reverted. There is also no mention of the short documentary Cinemagician - Conversations with Kenneth Anger (2019), which is the last documentary he was featured in. Gdimo (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Has Kenneth Anger been doing any films lately?  Seems he's been pretty quiet for a while.  J
-:Well, he's been sending [http://www.jester-records.com/ulver/images/Anger_note_scan.jpg cease-and-desist letters] to Ulver!  Apart from that, I don't think he's been doing anything productive. --[[User:Delirium|Delirium]] 07:23, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
-first film in 1941, when he was 14? How can this be?
-He made a movie called "Mouse Heaven" which he is currently showing around.
-== New works ==
-Kenneth Anger's done a few movies recently:  The Man We Want To Hang (abt. the art of Aleister Crowley), Elliott's Suicide (about the suicide of musician Elliott Smith), Anger Sees Red, a stop smoking film, and Mouse Heaven (a film using old old mickey mouse figures).  Also, I've heard rumors that he's been having mental health problems recently, including trying to strangle someone, but I can't find any sources other than gossip.

-== Beausoleil ==
-I had heard the stories regarding Bobby Beausoleil stealing the Lucifer Rising film but I recall reading in recent years that Anger himself admitted he made it up, and that he hadn't even shot that much footage (most of what he had shot eventually ended up in Invocation). I can't find a source offhand, so I didn't delete it from the article. I should also point out that the source for that info in the article (an uncredited NME piece from 1977) is riddled with inaccuracies and misinformation. I'll return when I can back this up with cold hard facts.[[User:Closenplay|Closenplay]] 01:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

-Hello. I'm new to Wikipedia. I was wondering if I could add an interesting story that Anger told me in an interview last year [http://thequietus.com/articles/01753-experimental-filmmaker-kenneth-anger here]. He claimed that the initial financing of the "Story of O" project came from the boyfriend of the 18 year old girl he cast in the leading role. The project had to dropped however when it emerged that the boyfriend was involved in the notorious [http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/classics/thorne/1.html Peugeot Kidnappings] and the funding came from ransom money!

-Does anyone know anything about this? I will try and dig up some references myself but if there is no reliable evidence, could the story be added anyway if introduced as "Anger has ''claimed'' [ref] that the financing....".
