Airships

Directed by Kenneth Anger

Kenneth Anger's Airship series consists of three short films that exhume newsreel footage of mighty dirigibles hovering ominously in the sky, the filmmaker's characteristic fusion of magic, symbolism, mystery, and myth — as well as the opulent use of colour and, in the first film, anaglyph 3D — imbuing the already incredible footage with an eerie, supernatural quality.
