A film by Antero Alli
Saturday, February 3, 2007, 8:00 pm, $6
Berkeley filmmaker Antero Alli’s newest feature returns to the post-911 terrain of his 2002 film “Hysteria” in this hilariously twisted tale of a household of dreamers whose lives are unexpectedly interrupted by an alleged bioterrorist attack in their city. Ona, a webcast diva with her own show, thinks the feds are staging this attack to shift into a fullblown police state. Her roomies think she’s paranoid. During a 48-hour citywide biohazard lockdown, they are all forced to come to their own conclusions about what is happening during their current state of escalating uncertainty. (USA. 2007; 92 min. HD video) With Cassie Powell, Brady M. Woolery, Bekah Barnett, David Gauntlett, Duncan Cook, Alan Reade, Nick Walker and Pat Parker. Soundtrack by Sylvi Alli. Written and directed by Antero Alli (in person).

“The Mind is a Liar and a Whore” is Antero’s seventh self-produced feature film. Though he doubts he has a mainstream bone in his body, Alli’s playfully subversive films have garnered consistent critical praise at prestigious filmthreat.com. Filmography includes: “The Greater Circulation” (2005), “Orphans of Delirium” (2004), “Under a Shipwrecked Moon” (2003), “Hysteria” (2002) “Tragos” (2001), and “The
Drivetime” (1995).
