A. WHY CHOSE MALTA FOR YOUR FILM?

By now, Malta has been the country of choice for a number of famed films. Since 1925, when 'Sons of the Sea' was the first feature film to be shot in Malta, the island has welcomed hundreds of different productions which were partly or entirely filmed here. The success story of the island stems from a number of factors, though the most notable mentions can be summarized as follows:

A pro-business environment seeking to attract foreign business to the island
Highly skilled and experienced workforce in the industry
An excellent quality of Mediterranean life
Political stability and safe environment
Enticing rebates on eligible expenditure up to 27%
