Hysteria on DVD
Jesse Walker reviews Antero Alli's film Hysteria in the new issue of Mindjack.
For over a decade, Antero Alli has been writing and directing deeply personal movies on a shoestring and screening them up and down the West Coast. He's usually unwilling to release his efforts on video or DVD, on the grounds that his art is best realized on a big screen and in a theater, among "a group of virtual strangers gathering in a dark and cavernous space to witness visions through a big window into another time, another place."
Hysteria is an exception. First publicly projected in 2002, the movie was released on DVD in February 2004. "It seems to work on the small screen," Alli explains, "maybe better than the large screen." Furthermore, "I'm acting on a moral impulse to get this vision out there now." Hold that thought.
