Helmer Anger to be honored at Outfest
Groundbreaking director Kenneth Anger has been chosen as the recipient of the 10th annual Outfest Achievement Award, which will be presented at Outfest 2006's opening-night gala July 6 at the Orpheum Theatre. Anger's movies range from 1947's Fireworks to 1963's Scorpio Rising, films which pioneered the presentation of homoerotic images; in 1959, he authored Hollywood Babylon, a best-selling compendium of Hollywood scandals. In other Outfest developments, five projects have been chosen for the Outfest Screenwriting Lab, designed to nurture emerging screenwriters: Sebastien Gauthier's Fucking Preston, Luther M. Mace's On the Low, Samuel Park's Shakespeare's Sonnets, Dasha Snyder's To Do and Isaac Webster's Amos and Lowell. Outfest also has added two new films to its lineup: Ron Oliver's Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery, starring Chad Allen, and Phillip J. Bartell's Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds, billed as the first American gay sequel.
