Watch: New Mockumentary Takes Satirical Spin On Absurd Local Council Life
Did Malta just get its own version of “The Office”? It sure did. Meet “Il-Kunsill Lokali”, your local unhinged team of neighbourhood problem-solvers… or instigators.
Written and directed by local filmmaker Jeremy Vella, the short film “humorously dives into where power struggles and potholes collide, as the local council tries (and often hilariously fails) to keep the community running—Maltese style!”, as perfectly put by the director in the video’s description.
Follow the unorthodox leadership methods of Mayor Peter Bugeja, played by Daniel Xuereb as he guides his unqualified and unmotivated crew. Featuring Erika Ellul as Sharon, the new hire alongside Daniel Diacono and Andrew John Sciberras as Coleiro and David respectively, the childish duo of the office, among many others.
