Tinsel Tree (1942)

Made when Anger was only 14 years old Tinsel Tree is a short that demonstrated his early disdain for the Christmas season Anger shows the Christmas tree as it is decorated in a series of closeups then the postChristmas tree is shown burning in a garbage can colored in a burst of handpainted gold flame Although circulated on 16 mm through 1967 Anger then withdrew Tinsel Tree It is possible that the film no longer exists but it may be among a few extant titles that Anger has stated he prefers not to show From written descriptions the connectivity of this veryshort short to Kenneth Angers later work is obvious allmoviecom
