The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar is to be released in Malta later this month.

The film is the last instalment of a popular Danish children’s adventure feature shot almost entirely in Malta in June and July of last year. The story follows Danish teenage friends on holiday in Malta in search of a lost treasure of the Templar knights said to be buried on the island. Therefore Malta is featured as Malta.

Though mainly in Danish, the film also has English and Maltese dialogue.

The cast includes local actors Manuel Cauchi and Monica Attard and music by Winter Moods.

Shooting took place in various locations around the island, including Rabat, Valletta and Mdina, and shows uniquely Maltese locations as themselves, such as Malta International Airport, Hagar Qim, Fort St Angelo and the Rabat catacombs.

The Danish Village in Mellieha was also featured.
