title: I Was, Already

overview: The film’s storyline is one many returned Maltese migrants will no doubt associate with: it’s about a young free-spirited artist, Karl, who returns to his home island Malta after a long time away. It covers his personal journey discovering his roots. Reliving old habits with friends and memories from his childhood, this journey leads him to re-visit his past with his ex-girlfriend, and then with a new friend, Anna, through whom he visits his old home in Gozo, now a neglected house full of memories. Anna is his springboard for self reflection and becomes his reason for trying to start life again in Malta; a place he’s familiar with but is now seeing through different eyes.

overview: Young Theo is sent on his first trip with his Maltese sea faring family, but things go terribly wrong when the 'Simshar' sinks, leaving the crew stranded in the Mediterranean... Simultaneously, Alex - a medic reluctantly dispatched onto a Turkish Merchant vessel which has rescued a group of stranded African boat people between Malta and Italy - gets stuck on the boat as the countries wage a bureaucratic war over who should take in the migrants... The stories unravel in parallel and culminate tragically when the fishermen are traced down, but by that time there's only one survivor.

title: Симшар

overview: Картина, в которой предельно откровенно показана трагедия мигрантов – беженцев, вынужденных переселенцев. Людей неприкаянных, которых не принимает так называемое «прогрессивное западное общество». Великолепная, полная трагизма и боли лента, которая основана на реальных событиях. 11 июля 2008 года у берегов Мальты потерпело крушение рыболовное судно «Симшар». Погибли четыре человека, один пропал без вести. Создатели фильма взяли за основу сюжет страшной трагедии, но и внесли свое видение на современные жизненные реалии: проблемы культурной ассимиляции и вынужденной миграции. Старый катер, на борту которого находилась семья мальтийских рыбаков турецкого происхождения, сломался в открытом море и через непродолжительное время загорелся. На место крушения судна прибывает береговая охрана, но они принимают страдающих, терпящих бедствие людей за африканских беженцев.

title: I Yam What I Yam... The Invention

overview: I Yam What I Yam...L'invenzione' is centered around the collision of two films originally shot on the same location; Emidio Greco's 'L'invenzione di Morel' (1974) and Robert Altman's 'Popeye' (1980). In Greco's film a shipwrecked man stumbles upon an ultra-modernist mansion. In it he finds a group of people trapped in a perpetual present facilitated by a machine that's capable of reproducing reality. Sant's reinvention of this film is shot on the same location, follows the same storyline, but occupies another world. In place of the mansion, he finds himself in 'Sweethaven' - the set of Altman's 'Popeye'. Though there is no trace of Greco's set, Altman's 'Sweethaven' remains - echoing Greco's plot by existing as an open-air museum where costumed entertainers re-enact scenes.

Njegov oče in dedek, oba nekoč lastnika iste barke, sta imela več sreče. Živela sta v času relativne ribiške blaginje, ko ribiška industrija še ni bila tako požrešna, okolje in podnebje pa nista bila tako zaostrena.

title: Mostri

MOSTRI Teaser 01 (4K)

type: Teaser

overview: The Maltese islands are tiny yet surprisingly rich in mythical creatures.  Civilisations who occupied the Maltese islands weaved these beings in their stories and religious beliefs. Creatures such as the Belliegha (the well-serpent), the Gawgaw (man-beast), demons like the Jinn and the Afrit are among the array of monsters that populate our culture. Many of these have been relegated to fantasy, but, if one is attentive, they can be found in the stories narrated by our elderly, who vividly describe them in their generations-old stories.  Mostri follows the story of Frans, a police detective who believes monsters are real and behind many horrific crimes. He has to prove their existence to the force and the police psychiatrist or otherwise he risks ending up off the force and into the asylum.
