Modem: "Un chant d'amour"

Alex wakes up in her room and opens the blinds. Sunlight stripes the walls as she faces herself in the mirror. The pages of Anti-Oedipus turn as Alex prepares herself for the world. She has a mission: a fight against powers that are standardizing and totalizing bodies and identities. A fight against hate and fear. 

”Miksi se on niin loukkaavaa, kun joku päättää itse kehostaan”

(“Why is it so offensive, when someone makes decisions over their bodies”)

Modem’s “Un chant d’amour” is a song about bodily self-determination and being a human breaking free from binary thinking. In this poetic Ilona Lehtonen short film Alex Andra Rekola is Alex, who carries a pansy - the flower of love, longing and thinking - through the city. Art direction and script by Ilona Lehtonen and Tatu Rouvinen. Set decoration and lighting by Onni Nieminen.

With apologies to Alan J. Pakula and his editor, John W. Wheeler.

(And to numerous inspirations, like filmmakers Adam Curtis, John Wilson, Jodie Mack, and of course the late, great Kenneth Anger -- all masters of modernity in their own way.)

Audio sampled from The Parallax View (1974; Paramount). Video clips sampled from The Almighty Algorithm (2023; The Internet).

Made entirely with my fingers on my iPhone.

Rest In Peace, KA.

Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969) // dir. Kenneth Anger

[billybutlerart]

If you ever heard my dad describe a sunset, you never would have looked at another one the same way. He loved every single sunset like it was his last. So cinematic. Dramatic. I inherited that shit. Ten fold. And it sucks lol. It’s pervaded my existence. Contributed to a melancholy. Every memorable memory I have is washed in dramatic light. Sometimes I don’t recall anything from an experience other than the lighting. The first WORD I spoke was light 😂 It’s also why I hate noon. The most boring, least dramatic time of day. Anyway… here’s a watercolor I did a little while ago and just forgot to post. “Rabbit’s Moon”. 5”x7” on paper. I first saw this short film - by Kenneth Anger - in a “secret room” at Versailles restaurant in Miami, fittingly with the @secretcelluloidsociety 🦉 My friend played it before a showing of “White Zombie”. I was transfixed. I couldn’t tell you much else about the night other than this part of the film (maybe the food too). The Pierrot clown. The magick lantern. The moon. So cinematic. Dramatic. Melancholy. (Pretty sure it’s on YouTube if you’re curious) 🐇🌝 #kennethanger #kennethangerfilms #rabbitsmoon #magicklanterncycle #cinematic #watercolorpainting #archespaper #niteowltheater #secretcelluloidsociety #versaillesmiami #missyoudad (at Fort Lauderdale, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClA_7Ovu7Rv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am delighted to host Prof. Judith, an expert on the transformative intersections of art and esotericism. Our conversation orbits around the enigmatic and evocative works of Kenneth Anger, an avant-garde filmmaker whose oeuvre plunges into the depths of magical practice and occult symbolism. Kenneth Anger, a central figure in both underground cinema and modern esotericism, has mesmerised audiences with films like "Lucifer Rising" and "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome." His work melds ritualistic elements with visual storytelling, offering an innovative exploration of how art can serve as a conduit for magical intent. Don't miss the Livestream. Tomorrow Sunday 22nd of October at 5 pm UK time! Set the reminder on the link below.
