Kenneth Anger - 'Missoni Fall 2010 Campaign Movie'

A short movie shot entirely in Sumirago, the Missoni Fall/Winter 2010-11 campaign was directed by Kenneth Anger, one of the most influential film poets of American avant-garde cinema. Featured in the film are members of the Missoni family: Ottavio Missoni, Rosita Missoni, Angela Missoni, Margherita Missoni, Jennifer Missoni and Ottavio Jr. Missoni.


One of the central recurring images found in Anger's work is the concept of flames and light; in 'Fireworks' there are various examples of this, including a burning Christmas tree, and it subsequently appears in many of his other works as well. This relates to the concept of Lucifer, a deity whom Anger devoted one of his films to, and whose name is Latin for "light bearer"
