Ferdinando Cito Filomarino
Writer | Director | Assistant Director
Ferdinando Cito Filomarino (b. 1986, 30-31 years old) was born and grew up in Milan. After studying in Boston and London, he studied at the DAMS (Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo) in Bologna and completed a work on a film-historical theme. Filomarino did not attend a film school but learned his craft on the set . He gained his first experience in the film as a director and assistant to the film editor at film projects in London.
Crucial for his career as a director was his encounter with Luca Guadagnino, who hired him for his film I Am Love as an assistant director. In Guadagnino's films A Bigger Splash, Call Me by Your Name and in the post-production remake Suspiria, he was Second Unit Director. In 2010, he directed the short film Diarchia, for which he also wrote the screenplay. In the same year, Diarchia received the Pianifica Award at the Locarno International Film Festival, and the Short Filmmaking Award at the Sundance Film Festival and Filomarino, the silver band of the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists as the best short film director. He also wrote his own books for his films. In 2013, he directed the documentary L'inganno on the development of Luchino Visconti's film Gruppo di famiglia in un interno. It was Visconti's penultimate film, which was paralyzed on production halfway after a stroke and died two years later. Filomarino himself is a descendant of the Visconti and extensively related to Luchino Visconti.
After another short film, he worked with Sayombhu Mukdeeprom as cinematographer his only feature film so far. In Antonia it is about the life of the Milanese lyricist Antonia Pozzi , who took her life in 1938. The film ran in 2015 in the competition of the festival in Karlovy Vary and received a Special Jury Mention.
