Marking 100 years of film, the Malta Film Commissioner, Johann Grech, and ScreenMalta have unveiled a striking compilation showcasing the island’s rich cinematic legacy.
From modern blockbusters like World War Z, Jurassic World, and Napoleon to timeless classics like The Count of Monte Cristo, Popeye, and of course, Gladiators 1 and 2, our island has a long history of stealing the cinematic spotlight for decades.
But let’s not forget the hidden gems — relics of cinema past like Bolibar, Clash of the Titans, and Casino Royale (yes, Malta was a secret agent before it was cool).
Our shores have welcomed Hollywood royalty, hosting A-listers like Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe, John Krasinski, Robin Williams, Joaquin Phoenix, Jason Statham, Sean Connery, and Tom Hanks — just to name a few.
From epic battle scenes to heart-wrenching dramas, adrenaline-fueled action to feel-good adventure, Malta has played every role imaginable.
It’s made audiences laugh, cry, and grip the edge of their seats — all while giving the international film industry a world-class backdrop to work with.
Time and time again, Malta proves that its dedication, hospitality, and homegrown talent are second to none, cementing its place as a small island with a massive impact on the silver screen.
A big well done to everyone who has contributed to Malta’s limelight throughout the years – Here’s to many more years of being the forefront of cinema.
