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 40 works since 1937. His films variously merge surrealism with homoeroticism and the occult, and have been described as containing "elements of erotica, documentary, psychodrama, and spectacle". Anger has been called "one of America's first openly gay filmmakers."
Jarett Kobek is a Turkish-American writer living in California. He is the author of the bestselling novel I Hate The Internet (2016) and the novella ATTA (2011) which has been the subject of much academic discourse. He writes regularly for museums and galleries, with his essays appearing under the auspices of Frieze, the Hammer Museum and White Cube. His most recent publications Motor Spirit: The Long Hunt for the Zodiac (2022) and How to Find Zodiac (2022) unravel the mystery surrounding the Zodiac Killer.
