On Wednesday, December 10, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York officially opened a tribute to Carlo Rambaldi, in collaboration with Cinecittà and with the support of the Directorate-General for Cinema and Audiovisual of the Italian Ministry of Culture. The programme opened with the screening of the 4K restored version of Deep Red (1975), restored by Cinecittà under the supervision of Dario Argento.
The event is part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Carlo Rambaldi, one of the most influential special effects artists in film history. Running through 24 December 2025, the MoMA retrospective features 15 films spanning Rambaldi’s entire career, from his early collaborations in Italian auteur cinema to his iconic Hollywood creations, including King Kong, Alien, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Dune. The programme also includes four new restorations curated by Cinecittà.
