does anyone here have any of the following in their possession?

Anger's 'Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome'
Harrington's 'The Wormwood Star' & 'Nite Tide'
John Chamberlain 'Thumbsuck'

if so,is there any possibility you would consider either selling them or running off a copy for me? you can message me to discuss further.

also, if anyone has anything else realting to Cameron (ie links, books, what have you..) that they can inform me of, i would be most thankful

(oh, and as an addendum to hashmal's post, if anybody has the 8mm reel of Jack Parsons fucking his mom, I'll pay top dollah for that one)

The British Film Institute do a series of Videos/DVDs collecting all of Kenneth Anger's films, '..Pleasure Dome' obviously being amongst them.. you can order them from Amazon and all the usual places, although they're annoyingly expensive..

Aside from that though, I think you're on your own. Avant garde / underground short films are an absolute bastard to get hold of. As you're no doubt already aware.

Why the sudden interest in Marjorie Cameron, just out of interest?
She's a pretty weird and fascinating figure for sure.. I'd be quite interested in finding out what she got up to after all the malarky with Parsons, Anger etc..

because Disinfo's Books of Lies had a chapter on her.

ria, i had a strong interest in cameron prior to reading mr. butler's essay. however, i only learned of the other films she had been in besides for 'pleasure dome' through reading his piece.

I didn't post to put you down! I posted to answer Rizla's question. no shame in having found out from the book, anyway!

Okay, I wasn’t sure whether to start a new thread, but saw this and was inspired to have a go at turning it into a general, kind of has anybody got a copy of/will anybody give me a copy of/does anybody know where I can get a copy of...?-type thing, for all those audiovisual obscurities that you just can’t get in shops.

So: Chris Petit’s ‘The Falconer’. Anybody got a copy they’re willing to loan out? I’d been happily obsessing over ‘Asylum’ for months on end, at which point someone kindly tells me how much better ‘The Falconer’ is, and now I just can’t sleep for not knowing.

Why these things aren’t more available is completely beyond me. Someone could make a lot of money bootlegging DVDs of hyper-obscure art-house shit.
