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".
Click this to 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."

re: the physical DVD media itself
Format: NTSC (not PAL). These dvds are recorded in "dvd-r" format, not pro-dvd format (as rented at Blockbusters and NetFlix). The dvd-r format plays on most computers and most dvd players but not all of them. If our dvd does not play on your player, your payment will be refunded upon receipt of the returned dvd. These films are also not HD-mastered. If your dvd player or TV monitor is strictly HD-1080,
you may need to play these dvds on a 720p setting, an X-box,
PLayStation, or a non-HD player/monitor for best results.
re: public broadcasts & screenings of my films
These dvds are released for private home-viewing only. Any public screenings or broadcasts on any public media without written consent from the producers is prohibited by law. I have different policies for public showings of my films. If you wish to screen or broadcast my work, click this. - Antero Alli
