About da Palmer Film

Da Palmer Film is a small production company, located in South Tyrol in the north of Italy.

It was founded in 2001 as Blue Star Film and changed its name to Da Palmer Film in 2005, as Blue Star Film became an independent company in Munich, Germany. Both companies are in close cooperation.

Da Palmer Film produces mainly documentaries, short and feature length fiction films, or collaborates with other production companies mainly in the camera department.

As for production equipment, an editing suite (Final Cut Pro Studio, Deck Link Extreme), DV cameras (JVC GY-DV 700 WEcl, Canon XL1) and super16mm cameras (AATON Ltr 7, BOLEX SBM, BOLEX H16reflex with underwater housing) are available.

Productions in super8/single8 mm (FUJICA zc1000, Beaulieu ZM4, Bauer A512) and telecine services are also offered.

AQUANITIS
(2006) 
 
aquanitis

After having suffered a stroke, Vinzenz, a hard-working hotel owner, regains consciousness as a new man,
suddenly feeling himself strangely attracted to water. This new way of seeing things makes it impossible for him to go back to his former life.
When he, under singular circumstances, meets and falls in love with an aquana, a beautiful water spirit, Vinzenz finally finds true happiness.
At least that is what he believes...

H€IMAT
(2003) 

 heimatposter


South Tyrol, benificiary of financial aid until the late eighties, has long outdistanced its formerly rich neighbours.
The economy is flourishing, unemployment is low, the prosperity ubiquitous. In only a few years the northernmost region of Italy
has become one of the richest in Europe.What sounds like a fairy tale in reality comes at a price.
South Tyrol has become a land of speculation, where the highest offer gets the bid.
Nature is marketed recklessly, the Alps are overrun by tourism.
Tradition and ancient customs degenerate into mere entertainment, turning the land into an alpine Disneyland.
H€IMAT is a film which has its starting point in South Tyrol, but South Tyrol is only exemplary for many regions.
What is happening here is happening in similar ways all over Europe.
The region is ruled by power and money, and politicians often find themselves unable to counter this trend.
