filmography (since 1991)
(click image for IMDb profile)
ANTERO ALLI has written and directed ten feature-length fiction films which have toured the west coast arthouse circuit (and are now available on dvd). Though his underground movies have never seen wide theatrical release ("I don't have a mainstream bone in my body"), they continue garnering critical praise for their originality, insight, and depth of imagination. Antero is also an author of numerous books and founder/director of ParaTheatrical ReSearch (since 1977), a center for group paratheatre work in Berkeley CA where he resides with his wife, singer/composer Sylvi Alli. He is currently promoting screenings for his outlaw romance movie, "FLAMINGOS".
vision statement
I don't call myself an artist. Those who suckle the self-image of "Artist" risk becoming as legends in their own minds. Best to let others, the world, decide what to call you and then, go about the business of whatever you're here for.
