Filippo is a Brazilian-Italian cinematographer and filmmaker based in New York. With a background in photography and visual ethnography, his work explores the intersection of memory, identity, and perception. Drawing from his own experiences navigating cultural transitions, Filippo is drawn to stories that blur the line between reality and interpretation—where personal narratives shape and distort truth.
A graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Filippo has worked on projects ranging from feature documentaries to experimental shorts. His latest film, Everything In This World Is Exactly What It Is, examines the quiet weight of memory through an elderly woman confronting her past self. The film blends documentary and fiction, reflecting Filippo’s fascination with non-linear storytelling and the malleability of recollection. The film is currently in the festival circuit.
Filippo has collaborated with brands like The New York Times Magazine, Arc’teryx, and L’AMARUE, alongside his own projects. He has also contributed to major documentary productions with Library Films, including the Emmy-winning HBO series 100 Foot Wave. As a founding member of Sentence Films, he is part of a collective of filmmakers dedicated to capturing the absurdity, delicacy, and unpredictability of life through both narrative and documentary storytelling.
He is open to collaboration and it is now done speaking about himself in the third person.
