ANTERO ALLI is a Finnish born, Berkeley-based underground filmmaker with a deep background in paratheatre. Since 1993, Alli has written and directed twelve original feature-length art films and numerous short works which have toured the west coast arthouse circuit (and available on dvd). Though he doubts his films will ever see wider release ("I don't have a mainstream bone in my body"), they continue garnering high critical praise for their originality, insight, and depth of imagination. Antero attributes his prolific output to being "a love slave to the Muses". He resides in Berkeley California with his collaborator and wife, the singer/composer Sylvi Alli.
