Actor, TV presenter Peter Busuttil appointed Film Commissioner

Finance ministry announces new film commissioner

The Minister of Finance, the Economy and Investment, Tonio Fenech, has appointed Peter Busuttil as Film Commissioner.

Former commissioner Luisa Bonello resigned citing personal reasons.

In a statement, the ministry said Peter Busuttil has been actively and professionally involved in the entertainment industry since 1981 including theatre, television and film.

Busuttil graduated in Education from the University of Malta and in Performing Arts from the Paolo Grassi, Milano (ex-Piccolo Teatro di Milano).  For the past 3 years he has been actively involved in the Malta Film Commission.

He has produced, directed and hosted a number of television shows from 1987 to date, from entertainment to drama, documentaries and films for television. He has created and produced a number of large events on a national scale for different entities. These events included Notte Bianca, Science Week, EU Information Festivals and Malta Eurosong Festivals.

Minister Fenech expressed his conviction that Peter Busuttil’s experience on the sector will encourage further growth in this sector, following the significant results achieved over the past few years, which have made the film industry an important contributor to the economy and to job creation in the Maltese islands.

Here's hoping he will at least dignify producers with a reply whenever enquiries arise. We've had no such luck with our complaints regarding the organisational mess that was Notte Bianca under his helm. Remember Mario Vella, Peter? Remember your request for a more private channel for discussion? Said channels were sought but wither waym my questions were never answered.
