Biography
film director
Claudio Papalia
Turinese director and ad-man Claudio Papalia (Alessandria, 1952) has had an absolutely eccentric career. His avantgarde works have won various video contests, such as that of Salsomaggiore. He directed a soft-core porno film under a pseudonym, but has reclaimed it as his own to the hilt. He has shot both Super8 and 35mm films in Turin and in America. He is an example of unconditionally radical cinema in which outrageousness glues together a creative and stimulating filmography.
