The documentary ‘Hal Far Airfield’ by Chris and Maurice Micallef was awarded two awards of excellence for research conducted by Dr Ing. Chris Micallef and for short documentary in the Indie Fest held earlier in May in the USA. Hal Far Airfield, traces the history of Hal Far Airfield.

The film is impeccably researched and includes extensive original war time footage combined with re-enactments of Maltese Army Regiments and the British Royal Air Force.

The Airfield’s location on Malta was of great strategic importance in the Mediterranean and during WWII it was one of the main targets of the Axis which dropped thousands of bombs yet never managed to close Hal Far Airfield. This documentary was aired on One TV earlier in April this year.

The two awards won by Chris and Maurice Micallef mark the 100th international award in film and video festivals around the world.
