(click image for IMDb profile)
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 prestigious filmthreat.com and continues to screen in rare, limited runs on the west coast arthouse circuit. Antero is also an author of numerous books on "reality-based metaphysics" and the founder/director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch (since 1977), an ongoing exploration of 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. He is currently in production on his next film, "TO DREAM OF FALLING UPWARDS", a zany occult thriller about the collision between two disparate magical worlds.
vision statement
I don't call myself an artist. Those aspiring to be "artist"
risk becoming as "legends in their own minds". Best to
let others, the world, decide what to call you..."
