Palma Productions is an independent film and audiovisual production company founded by filmmaker Domenico Palma, specializing in contemporary art, performance, and institutional audiovisual projects.

Over the years, Palma Productions has developed solid experience collaborating with museums, foundations, biennials, galleries, and cultural institutions in Italy and internationally. Its work is carried out in close dialogue with curators, artists, and institutional teams, contributing to exhibition programs, research-based projects, and long-term documentation practices.

The company has collaborated with institutions such as La Biennale di Venezia (Art and Music sections), the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice), Magazzino Italian Art (Cold Spring, New York), MASI Lugano, Museion Bolzano, MART Trento and Rovereto, MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts, as well as with Italics, a consortium of Italian and international art galleries that annually organizes the event Panorama.
Among its clients are also private organizations and brands actively engaged in supporting contemporary culture, including Furla. Palma Productions has additionally worked with leading galleries such as Thaddaeus Ropac and Lia Rumma, producing exhibition films, artist portraits, and project-based audiovisual works.

The practice of Palma Productions spans a wide range of formats, from the documentation of exhibitions and live performances to behind-the-scenes films, institutional narratives, and the production of original video works commissioned directly by artists. These include collaborations with internationally recognized artists such as David Lamelas, Andrea Fraser, and Gabrielle Goliath, as well as the production of a film for artist Andrea Bowers.
The company has also collaborated extensively with contemporary Italian artists, including Giulia Cenci, for whom it produced the film Dead Dance, winner of the Audience Award at the festival Lo schermo dell’arte (Florence), and Francesco Arena, whose artistic practice has been the subject of multiple films produced by Palma Productions.

Alongside its institutional activity, Palma Productions develops authorial films and mid- to long-form projects, which have been presented at film festivals and curated screening programs in Italy and abroad, including Artecinema Napoli, recurring presentations within initiatives such as Cinema in Piazza at Magazzino Italian Art, and events hosted by the Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò (New York University).

Rather than adopting a purely technical or archival approach, Palma Productions conceives each project as a site- and context-specific process, with particular attention to time, light, spatial perception, and the performative dimension of artworks. The resulting films function both as rigorous documents and as autonomous cinematic works, capable of extending the life of exhibitions and performances beyond their original temporality.

Based between Italy and international contexts, Palma Productions operates with a flexible production structure, suited to the needs of museums and cultural institutions working across different scales, disciplines, and curatorial frameworks.
