New behind-the-scenes photos of 'By the Sea' released

A number of behind-the-scenes photos has been released showing the set and actors in the Gozo-shot movie 'By the Sea'. 

The project brought power couple Angelina Jolie Pitt and Brad Pitt, as well as their family, to Gozo last year to shoot the movie. 

Written and produced by Jolie, By the Sea follows an American writer named Roland (Pitt) and his wife, Vanessa (Jolie), who arrive in a tranquil and picturesque seaside resort in the 1970s, their marriage in apparent crisis. As they spend time with fellow travellers, the couple begins to come to terms with unresolved issues in their own lives.

Gozo’s unique landscapes play home to the much-anticipated romantic drama. It was the beautiful greenery of Gozo that captivated Jolie and in turn, lead to the decision to film the entirety of the movie in the stunning valley of Mgarr ix-Xini.

‘By The Sea’ has given Gozo a great deal of international media exposure, which augurs well for the film and tourism industry on the island.
