Belgian movie to be filmed in Malta

Xinhua, May 12, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Malta Film Commission (MFC) revealed on Tuesday that a new adventure family film would be shot in Malta by Studio 100, a leading television and film production company in Belgium.

The Maltese and Gozitan islands will serve as backdrops for this new film. Having had a successful filming experience in 2013 with 'Pirate Pete and the Sea Monster', this would be the return to Malta in May for Studio 100 to film at key locations in the archipelago.

Maltese Minister for Tourism Edward Zammit Lewis said the film promised to be an excellent marketing opportunity for Malta and Gozo. This renewed collaboration with Studio 100 augured well for further collaboration between Malta's film and tourism industry.

The film is to be released later this year in Flemish and Dutch cinemas and distributed in Flanders by Kinepolis Film Distribution.

Early this year, a TV drama series 'Apocalypse Slough', directed by Emmy-nominated Michael Engler, was also partly shot in Malta. Endit
