With the debut of the Malta Film Week and Awards, a generous cash rebate and an upgrade of local studio facilities, the island nation is raising its profile as a versatile, cost-effective location for film shoots: 'We are building an industry.'
Trevorrow participated a day earlier in a Q&A, and he was one of several high-profile international talents who appeared on stage or by video Saturday at the slickly produced awards ceremony, hosted by British comedian David Walliams. Collectively, they represent the ambitions of the Malta Film Commission to convert the country, in commissioner Johann Grech’s words, into “a world class film industry.
Films and series from the last 100 years of Maltese production were eligible for the awards, meaning this might not be an annual event – at least not in its current form – though Malta Film Week will be, Grech says. Malta specializes in marine filming, and most international productions, such as the WWII drama “Das Boot,” come to the island for the Malta Film Studios’ massive water SFX facility, which houses three tanks.
