The Malta Film Commission will be hosting a concert to commemorate Malta's contribution to the film industry over the past 90 years. The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, under the artistic direction of Brian Schembri and featuring Julie Zahra, will be performing a variety of world-renowned soundtracks from films that have been shot in Malta. The concert will be held on Friday, 25 and Saturday, 26 September at the Mediterranean Conference Centre.

In line with its commitment to support the local film industry, Bank of Valletta is extending its support to the Malta Film Commission for this concert.
