MULTIPLE REVIEWS OF THIS FILM
2 DVDS OF EXPERIMENTAL SHORT WORKS
1) "LOADED VISIONS" and 2) "ON LOVE & OTHER DIFFICULTIES"
1) "LOADED VISIONS: THE VIDEOPOEMS"
(1991-2001; 74 min.) Using poetic text as oblique
nonlinear narratives for invoking
the
spirits and images
innate to the poem itself (color & B/W
DigitalVideo, super-8 film).
Featuring the 27 min. poetry film, "LILY IN LIMBO".
Watch an excerpt from "LILY IN LIMBO"
"This superior collection of short films made over the course of a decade
shows that Antero Alli, who has made many feature length films, is also a
master of the short form. Set to poetic texts, often to excellent music by
his long time collaborator Sylvi Alli, these films show Alli’s command of film
editing and visual language, and his ability to draw performances of deeply
grounded power from dancers and actors, to create visions which are
indeed
“loaded.” They are loaded with the ability to evoke deep longings,
exaltations,
historic and cultural memories, and altered spiritual states."
