Filming in Malta In recent years, Malta has been increasingly selected as a film location by international directors and producers. Apart from its good climate, picturesque settings and a variety of landscapes, what makes Malta so attractive to the film industry? The strategic location of the Maltese Islands is not the only reason that has made them the object of attention from production companies. From 2005 Malta is offering tax incentive and tax relief schemes to audiovisual companies producing and investing in the Island. The Malta film incentive has been put in place to change Malta from being a mere location for the filming of movies to having a movie industry. There are two kinds of incentives. The first scheme is a rebate system. Every movie shooting in Malta could apply to take back not more than 20% of the amount spent on what left added value for the Maltese, such as on hotels, restaurants and car hire. The second incentive is in the form of substantial tax breaks for those who want to invest in facilities and equipment related to the film industry. Anyone who decided to invest in film-related projects, including film studios and sound stages, among others, would have advantages under the Business Promotion Act. FOCUS Malta, in cooperation with the Malta Film Commission and the Malta Tourism Authority, can provide advice and logistical support to production companies who chose to film in Malta. You might have seen Malta in films and TV shows including: Troy, A Different Loyalty, Alexander, Gladiator, Popeye, The Count of Monte Cristo, Swept Away, Midnight Express, Munich, Helen of Troy, Pinocchio, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen… Contact Us and we will be happy to embark with you in the organisation of a journey to be remembered.
