The fourth edition of the Gozo Film Festival is being held from today to Sunday, August 21, at the Citadel, Victoria.
The festival's aim is to provide entertainment for all ages, as well as promote local and foreign film-makers. Within this context, the programme is featuring a number of workshops for children and adults and a total of 33 short movies, besides screening three feature-length films with a Maltese connection.
These are the comedy Brothers From Malta (2022), directed by Australian-Maltese film-maker Julian Galea, which is being screened tonight; the drama Luzzu (2021) by Alex Camilleri, which will be screened tomorrow; and the French blockbuster Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002) by Alain Chabat, which was partly filmed in Malta and which is showing on Sunday.
Tonight's event kicks off at 8.30pm with a programme of local and international short movies. The screening of Brothers from Malta (certified PG) at 10pm will be followed by a Q&A session with its director, Galea.
