From Page to Screen: A Tale of Malta’s Glory Days
The Great Siege of Malta, a pivotal moment in our island’s history, is set to captivate audiences worldwide. The upcoming series, produced by local powerhouse, The Malta Film Commission, in collaboration with international partners, promises to bring the epic tale of Malta’s resilience to life. From the heroic stand against the Ottoman Empire in 1565 to the rich historical tapestry that followed, this isn’t just a story; it’s our story.
Malta: The Star of the Show
