Antero Alli’s very first feature-length “videofilm” was born from a place of immeasurable grief, where he took the helm at cinematography, writing, editing and directing. Another case of processing pain through art would accidentally establish Alli as a DIY filmmaker. Loosely inspired by Pablo Neruda’s Book of Questions, THE ORACLE explores the feelings of loss in the dream states of a dying man and his granddaughter, Ariadne. A theatrical and distinctly West Coast urban fantasy shot on both analog video cassette tape and Super 8 film, THE ORACLE is a subconscious home movie, a tapestry of an artist in mourning.
