Life

Ferdinando Cito Filomarino was born and raised in Milan. After stays in Boston and London, he completed a degree at DAMS (Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo) in Bologna and graduated with a thesis on the history of film. Filomarino didn't go to film school, but learned his craft on the set . He gained his first film experience as an assistant director and as an assistant to the film editor on film projects in London.

Crucial for his career as a director was his meeting with Luca Guadagnino , who hired him as an assistant director for his film I Am Love . He was Second Unit Director in Guadagnino's films A Bigger Splash , Call Me by Your Name and in the film Suspiria, which was shown for the first time in Venice in 2018 .

In 2010 he shot 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 , the Short Filmmaking Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011 and Filomarino the Silver Ribbon of the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists for best short film director. He also wrote the scripts for his subsequent films. In 2013 he made the documentary L'inganno about the making of Luchino Visconti's film Gruppo di famiglia in un interno . It was Visconti's penultimate film, one of whom was paralyzed on one side after a stroke during production and who died two years later. Filomarino itself is a descendant of the Visconti and widely related to Luchino Visconti.

After another short film, he shot his only feature film so far with Sayombhu Mukdeeprom as cameraman. In Antonia it comes to the lives of the Milanese poet Antonia Pozzi , who in 1938 took his own life. The film ran in 2015 in the competition of the festival in Karlovy Vary and received a Special Jury Mention .
