Phantoscope, Triskel’s quarterly experimental film programme, presents three timeless classics of underground cinema by Kenneth Anger, one of the most influential visionaries of not only experimental film but of cinema in general. The legendary SCORPIO RISING follows a biker gang’s orgiastic gathering spiralling into hysteria and death, while being perhaps the most notable harbinger of the modern music video.

Set to a jarring score by Mick Jagger, INVOCATION OF MY DEMON BROTHER is perhaps the darkest of Anger’s ritual films and a haunting document of 1960s San Francisco counterculture. The magisterial LUCIFER RISING adopts a more raptly cosmic tone as Egyptian gods summon the angel Lucifer to usher in a new age.
