Malta-produced films hit the Parisian screens

Following the successful Joseph Calleja concert held last April, the Maltese Embassy in France will be organising 'Cine Malte: les possibilités d'une Ile' on 17 June.

This event will be held at the beautiful 'Louxor - Palais de Cinéma', unique art déco hall, which has just recieved a major facelift by the City of Paris. This event will be among the very first to be organised at this location, which played an integral part in the Golden Age of Parisian cinema.

This event, which is being organised in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cultural Diplomacy Fund, will include Maltese productions as well as international productions shot in Malta.

The concept behind this event is to both provide an opportunity for Maltese directors and producers and also to promote Malta as a filming destination. Several well-known French producers have in fact been invited for this unique event which is the first of its kind in Paris by Malta.

The embassy is also working towards establishing film-cooperation agreements with France in a bid to provide more opportunities for Maltese film producers and directors to develop their talents further and to enable them to secure more avenues through which to showcase their work.
