Carlo Di Palma

Italian cinematographer (1925–2004)

Carlo Di Palma is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Carlo Di Palma as Italian cinematographer (1925–2004).

Carlo Di Palma was born at Rome in 1925. His recorded nationality is Italy.

This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.

The record gives his roles in the industry as cinematographer, film director and screenwriter.

A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

That the work was made from Italy shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Carlo Di Palma died in 2004, aged 79. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
