Mikä oli Kenneth Angerin ensimmäinen elokuva?
Anger's first film was created in 1937, when he was only ten years old. The short, titled "Ferdinand the Bull", had been shot on the remains of 16mm film to which had been left unused after the Anglemyer's family vacation to Yosemite National Park, where they had been making home movies with it. In "Ferdinand the Bull", which has never been made publicly available, Kenneth dressed as a matador, wearing a cape, while 2 of his friends from the Boy Scouts played the bull. His second work, "Who Has Been Rocking My Dreamboat", which Anger himself often considers to be his first proper film, was made from footage of children playing during the summer, accompanied with popular songs by bands, including the Ink Spots. Anger had created "Who Has Been Rocking My Dreamboat" in 1941, when he was fourteen, shortly before the Attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent entry of the United States into the Second World War, adding to the poignancy of this early work. The following year he produced another amateur film, "Prisoner of Mars", which was heavily influenced by "Flash Gordon", a series that he was a fan of. In this science fiction-inspired feature, he added elements taken from the Greek mythological myth of the Minotaur and himself played the protagonist, as well as constructing a small volcano in his back yard to create a form of home-made special effect. It is believed that many of these early films are lost, with Anger burning much of his previous work in 1967.
