ANTERO ALLI is a prolific underground filmmaker whose works screen in limited runs on the west coast arthouse circuit (and are also available on dvd). Though his films have never seen wide theatrical 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 is also the author of numerous books and founder/director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch (since 1977), a center for group paratheatre work in Berkeley CA. He is currently in production for his next movie, "The Book of Jane", a feminist drama.
vision statement
I don't call myself an artist. Best to let others, the world,
decide what to call you. I see myself more as a kind of interruptor...
