In conjunction with QFest 2011: the 15th Anniversary GLBTQ International Film Festival, Aurora Picture Show presents Four By Anger. In association with Southwest Alternate Media Project and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Though arguably best known as the author of the hugely popular Hollywood Babylon series, Kenneth Anger is perhaps one of cinema’s most influential filmmakers, having invented a cinematic language all his own through his wholly original use of color, editing, cinematography, and sound design, in turn influencing and inspiring such directors as Martin Scorsese, Andy Warhol, Quentin Tarantino, Guy Maddin, Todd Haynes, and David Lynch.

With a body of work spanning almost eight decades and continuing to this day (his most recent film being an ad for famed Italian design house Missoni, inspired by his earlier short, Puce Moment), Aurora is proud to partner with QFest to feature four of Anger’s most famous works, each beautifully restored to 35mm by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Films include: Kustom Kar Kommandos, Fireworks, Rabbit's Moon, Scorpio Rising.
