Last year, we here at Spectacle had the privilege of showcasing one of the first posthumous retrospectives for prolific underground writer, astrologer, playwright and filmmaker Antero Alli. This March, we’re thrilled to showcase four more of his deeply singular and surreal approach to shot-on-video auteurism. Including his very first and last feature films, THE ORACLE and the previously screened BLUE FIRE, respectively, this selection focuses more on artistic intertextuality over speculations on the future. Allusions to the works of everyone from Paula Modersohn-Becker to Tim Buckley, alongside Antero Alli’s incorporation of psych-hypnagogic imagery, will still expand the consciousness of both new and familiar viewers of Alli’s poetic imagination.
