Eaux d'Artifice
Eaux d'artifice( 1953) is a short experimental film by Kenneth Anger.
The film was shot in the Villa d' Este in Tivoli, Italy.
The film consists entirely of a woman dressed in eighteenth- century clothes who wanders amidst the garden fountains of the Villa d' Este(" a Hide and Seek in a night- time labyrinth") to the sounds of Vivaldi's" Four Seasons", until she steps into a fountain and momentarily disappears.
The actress, Carmilla Salvatorelli( not" Carmello"), was" a little midget" Anger had met through Federico Fellini.
Anger used a short actress to suggest a different sense of scale, whereby the monuments seemed bigger( a technique he said was inspired by etchings of the gardens in the Villa d' Este by Giovanni Battista Piranesi).
The title, a play on words, is meant to suggest" Feux d'artificeFireworks"), in obvious reference to Anger's earlier 1947 work.
Film critic Scott MacDonald has suggested that" Fireworks" was a film about the repression of( the film- maker's) homosexuality in the United States, whereas" Eaux d' Artificesuggests an explosion of pleasure and freedom."
In 1993, this short film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

MG Srinivas
MG Srinivas( Bangalore) is an Indian film actor, director and screenwriter in Kannada cinema.
His second short film Simply Kailawesome won the Platinum Remi Award during the 44th Houston Film Festival in 2011.
This led to his first feature film in Kannada language, Topiwala, with Upendra in the lead.
I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
Matt Corboy
Matt Corboy( born June 4, 1973) is an American actor.
He has appeared in both films and television series.
Kenneth Anger
Kenneth Anger( born Kenneth Wilbur Anglemyer, February 3, 1927) is an American underground experimental filmmaker, actor and author.
Working exclusively in short films, he has produced almost forty works since 1937, nine of which have been grouped together as the" Magick Lantern Cycle".
His films variously merge surrealism with homoeroticism and the occult, and have been described as containing" elements of erotica, documentary, psychodrama, and spectacle".
Anger himself has been described as" one of America's first openly gay filmmakers, and certainly the first whose work addressed homosexuality in an undisguised, self- implicating manner", and his" role in rendering gay culture visible within American cinema, commercial or otherwise, is impossible to overestimate", with several being released prior to the legalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults in the United States.
He has also focused upon occult themes in many of his films, being fascinated by the English gnostic mage and poet Aleister Crowley, and is an adherent of Thelema, the religion Crowley founded.
Born to a middle- class family in Santa Monica, California, Anger would later claim to have been a child actor who appeared in the film" A Midsummer Night's Dream"( 1935); the accuracy of this claim has come under dispute.
He began making short films when he was ten years old, although his first film to gain any recognition, the homoerotic" Fireworks"( 1947), would only be produced a decade later.
The controversial nature of the work led to him being put on trial on obscenity charges, but he was acquitted.
A friendship and working relationship began subsequently with pioneering sexologist Alfred Kinsey.
Moving to Europe, Anger produced a number of other shorts inspired by the artistic avant- garde scene on the continent, such as" Rabbit's Moon"( released 1970) and" Eaux d' Artifice"( 1953).
Returning to the United States in 1953, he set about working on several new projects, including the films" Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome"( 1954)," Scorpio Rising"( 1964)," Kustom Kar Kommandos"( 1965), and the gossip book" Hollywood Babylon"( 1965).
The latter would become infamous for its many dubious and sensationalist claims, many of which were later disproven, though some do remain as urban legends.
Getting to know several notable countercultural figures of the time, including Tennessee Williams, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Marianne Faithfull and Anton LaVey, Anger involved them in his subsequent Thelemite- themed works," Invocation of My Demon Brother"( 1969) and" Lucifer Rising"( 1972).
Following his failure to produce a sequel to" Lucifer Rising", which he attempted through the mid-1980s, Anger retired from filmmaking, instead focusing on" Hollywood Babylon II"( 1984).
At the dawn of the 21st century he once more returned to filmmaking, producing shorts for various film festivals and events.
Anger has described filmmakers such as Auguste and Louis Lumière, Georges Méliès, and Maya Deren as influences, and has been cited as an important influence on later film directors like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and John Waters.
He has also been described as having" a profound impact on the work of many other filmmakers and artists, as well as on music video as an emergent art form using dream sequence, dance, fantasy, and narrative".
