Kenneth Anger is one of the major personalities of the 60ies and 70ies underground art scene. In 1947, Anger shot a short, expressive, imagistic, sexually charged dramatic film entitled Fireworks. This work established him not only as a pioneer of experimental film, but also as a pioneer in the visualization of homo-erotic imagery. In fact, throughout his life, Kenneth Anger defined himself as a «cinematographic magician» and declared that his intention was that of projecting his films directly into the minds of the audience. He credited the use of esoteric symbolism, prevalent in his films, to Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the great magician, advocate of Gnosticism and of neo-paganism, a highly controversial, complex and fascinating figure of the 20th century. In the past five decades, Anger's films have been the subject of many books, film panels and film theory courses. Exactly who is Kenneth Anger? Why and how did he make these films? These are some of the issues and questions I'm exploring in Anger Me. (Elio Gelmini)

CARTIER Paris Burning
PANTHER BURNS finest hour
Burning bright on Montparnasse dewy heights: June 28, 2007 
 
All Cartier photos, by permission: BALDO 2007 Paris
The Fondation Cartier expresses Cartier..s commitment to the arts. A pioneer in the field, Cartier invests on a unrivalled scale to promote the art of its time. From its inception in 1984, it has established a long-term commitment to artists of all nationalities. For Cartier, patronage is not just a one-time deal based on current trends and movements, but an enduring choice that is constantly reaffirmed. Cartier has developed a different kind of patronage through its exhibitions, its collection, and its production of artwork. Its keen interest in the arts is especially visible in its commissions policy: a key feature of patronage, commissions reflect a total commitment to artistic production, from the moment of conception to the finished work. The Fondation Cartier pour l..art contemporain enables Cartier to maintain its image as a company attuned to the latest creative innovations, providing a forum where freedom and originality can thrive. In 1994, after ten years spent in Jouy-en-Josas near Versailles, the Fondation Cartier moved into the airy glass and steel building in central Paris designed specially by Jean Nouvel, also the creator of the Institut du Monde Arabe and the Musée du Quai Branly. Famous in France and internationally for his unique way of dematerializing architecture, his challenge for Cartier was to harmoniously bring together 12,000 square feet of exhibition space and six storeys of offices on the Boulevard Raspail. Outside he designed a glass curtain wall running parallel with the Boulevard Raspail and screening off the Lebanese cedar tree planted by Chateaubriand in 1823. The tree was placed in a gigantic flowerpot clad with multi-coloured mosaics made by the talented and offbeat designer Alessandro Mendini. Above the entrance is a ..plant wall.. commisssioned in 1998 from Patrick Blanc, a specialist in tropical botany who invented this unusual concept. The main body of the building is set back from the Boulevard and the façades on each side extend outward, seamlessly merging the garden with the building itself. Acting in turn as windows and mirrors, the glass walls offer glimpses of the works on show and reflect the clouds and the cityscape. A veritable ..hall of mirrors.., the building constantly changes as the day or night progresses. Inside, Jean Nouvel has invented a flexible modular space that encourages artists to make the architecture their own, modifying it and inhabiting it for the duration of their exhibitions. Each project provides an opportunity to reinvent the space. The ground floor, with its 26-foot ceiling, opens onto the garden and can be darkened for film screenings and video installations. Its huge plate-glass windows can slide out of sight, transforming the building into a huge structure on stilts.

Art Cinema Le Champollion
(Click image to enlarge)
By the Ways, a film about Memphis photographer William Eggleston which includes an appearance by Tav Falco, will be screened at Cinema Le Champo on March 19 and 20. Tav Falco will be on hand for the screenings.
Le Champo is one of the famous art movie theatres of Paris.
Generations of students and cinema lovers, even directors learnt about cinema going to the Champollion.
Opened in 1938 in the center of the Latin Quarter at the ground floor of the building and replacing a book store, le Champo had one screen and 150 seats. It is surrounded by universities.
In 1941 a fire destroyed the projection booth and it was decided to construct a new one in a very original way in a room beside the screen. The picture is reflected by a periscope on a mirror at the rear of the theatre and then projected on the screen.
In 1955, a small nightclub downstairs was converted to cinema showing 16mm prints. Named Actua Champo it is apart from the Champollion upstairs and there were two individual lobbies and cash boxes.
A major refurbishing in the Eighties modernized the Champo, giving it a single cash box and lobby and two very comfortable auditoriums. Always a clever art movie program, the future seemed safe.
Around 2000, the lease had to be renewed and the owner of the building intended to close the theater in order to rent the building to a bank. Fortunately, a huge protest avoided this prospect, but the threat is still in the air.
