If you dig satanists, blind albinos, and Mick Jagger, you’ll absolutely love Kenneth Anger’s Invocation of My Demon Brother. Made in the very dark year of 1969, this awesomely evil 11-minute masterpiece stars Anger, Anton LaVey (AKA the High Priest of the Church of Satan), Charlie Manson sidekick Bobby Beausoleil, and a mummified psychic. There are surface messages (“Zap! You’re pregnant. That’s witchcraft.”), subliminal messages, and a skronky synthesizer soundtrack by Jagger — plus documentary footage from a satanic cat funeral, a ceremonial skull-smoking session, and full-frontal male nudity.
This Thursday at 8:30 p.m., Ai Miami International University of Art & Design and Sweat Records will copresent an exceedingly rare screening of Invocation of My Demon Brother. Two other Anger films from the ’50s and ’60s — Rabbit’s Moon and Lucifer Rising — are also on the program. Go, or Satan will get you.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
