Well....
While I can not offer direct contact information for Kenneth Anger
I can relate an instance of uncanniness vis a vis Mr. Anger.
At a "Cine Equipment Sale" on January 28, 2012, held to expunge the old
4th Street basement Millennium Film Workshop of some of its lesser
assets
along with numerous other cinephiles, I was interested in sifting
through undifferentiated 16mm dross
in a huge heap being sold for next to nothing.
As a kind of grace before I went digging and because I knew the
Millennium I loved was finished
I went up to an old upright piano I had heard tell was brought into
the space by Kenneth Anger
expressly for a performance he did there. Quietly with reverence I
played a few notes
and walked away knowing I'd never see those keys again.
I walked over to the frenzy of pickers at the pile of film cans
scattered all over the floor.
My jaw just dropped when the very first can I opened utterly
absolutely arbitrarily ( I swear )
contained a single reel of the 1935 "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
(in Spanish), a film Mr. Anger claims to have appeared in as a child
actor.
I took this as a beneficent sign or portent, a wink to acknowledge
a secret shared path.
( Nothing else I could locate in that pile of 16mm film was anything
but worthless garbage.)
If you do speak with him,
please extend to him my thanks.
The proverbial check is in the mail
in an extrasensory sense of course.
Here I am not joking.

I am also looking for this as the email provided on his website
doesn't elicit a reply. That could be intentional though I suppose.
