1969 film by Kenneth Anger

Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969) is an 11-minute film photographed, directed and edited by Kenneth Anger.

Its repetitive noise music soundtrack was composed by Mick Jagger playing a Moog synthesizer. It was filmed in San Francisco at the Straight Theater on Haight Street in Haight-Ashbury and at the William Westerfeld House.[1]

According to Anger, the film, starring Mick Jagger, Manson family member Bobby Beausoleil and Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, was assembled from scraps of the first version of Lucifer Rising. It includes clips of the cast smoking hashish out of a skull and a Satanic funeral ceremony for a cat.

Invocation of My Demon Brother won the Tenth Annual Film Culture award.[2]

Author Gary Lachman claims that the film “inaugurat[ed] the midnight movie cult at the Elgin Theatre.”[3]
