the notorious director
Kenneth Anger returns to New York for a rare apearance this Thursday, January 20 to present four new films at the Museum of Modern Art as part of its ongoing
Premieres series.
Anger, who the

Mouse Heaven (2004), featuring the
Mel Birnkrant colection of 1930s Disneyana, as well as
The Man We Want to Hang (2002),
