As Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo and Film Commissioner Johann Grech announced the launch of a new film festival focused on the Mediterranean, international media were quick to pick up on the information.

International Publications such as Variety, Deadline and Screen Daily were quick to announce the arrival of the new festival, with the outlets running similar information on the dates and details of the festival.

The festival was announced during a press conference where the Commissioner announced the collaborative festival involving the MED 9, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, Croatia and Malta.

It is meant to serve as a showcase for the artistic and creative talents the region has to offer.

It’s also hoped to serve to strengthen Malta’s position in the global film market and attract more film projects to the Maltese Islands.

International producers, studio executives, producers and directors as well as representatives of Mediterranean film commissions, the British Film Commission and Hollywood Studios will be in attendance.

Besides the festival, a fund of €500,000 was pledged towards film education with a further €100,000 towards producing short films.

“The size of our country never deterred us from dreaming big” – Johann Grech

“The Mediterrane Film Festival will bring together the nine unique Mediterranean nations to celebrate – the power of togetherness; the power of creativity; the power of opportunity. Because alone we are small, but together we are better.”
