Filippo is a Brazilian-Italian cinematographer and filmmaker based in New York. With a background in photography and visual ethnography, he likes telling stories that blur the line between documentary and fiction. His work often explores how our sense of self—both personal and collective—shapes the way we see the world, deal with fear, and respond to the planet around us.
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 he is now done speaking about himself in the third person.
