ANTERO ALLI (b. 11/11/1952) is a Finnish born, West Coast-based underground filmmaker who has been writing and directing feature-length art films since 1993. His work has garnered critical praise at the prestigious filmthreat.com and screens in limited runs on the west coast arthouse circuit. Antero is also the founder/director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch (since 1977), an ongoing exploration of asocial group ritual dynamics that often informs and inspires his films. Antero resides in Berkeley CA with his wife, the singer/composer Sylvi Alli, and their two cats Cyrus and Horus.
