Movies Filmed in Malta
Malta is an island steeped in history and culture, with steep cliffs tumbling into the sea, golden beaches and a sea that’s a dazzling aquamarine, just like in the movies. Infact, the sea that you have seen on the screen could well be that surrounding Malta, as many feature-films have been made on the island, using the dramatic landscape as a backdrop for several blockbusters.
Film producers have been using Malta as a location for the past four decades for two main reasons: The Mediterranean Film Studios at Rinella has a purpose-built, 300-foot wide water tank blending with the horizon.

Swinging – or the swinging lifestyle – is a reference to non-exclusive sexual activity that’s usually experienced as a couple, and in the recent past it was often referred to as “wife-swapping”.
Malta conjures up images of a quaint, sleepy Mediterranean island with blue skies, clear warm sea, an abundance of history and culture and a place to sip a cool drink on a quayside at sunset. That’s the impression the advertisements portray, and for many, that’s what Malta represents.
Malta International Airport (IATA code: MLA) is the only airport that currently serves Malta and its sister islands of Gozo and Comino, although up until recently, there was a Malta-Gozo helicopter service linking Malta International Airport (MIA) with the heliport in Xewkija, Gozo. This has, however been discontinued and the only other link with the other islands other than by road/ferry is a seaplane service from Grand Harbour, Valletta to Mgarr, Gozo.
If you’re looking for a reasonably-priced, family-friendly restaurant, offering excellent Mediterranean food and a great ambience, then Mamma Mia in Ta’ Xbiex should be high on your list of potential venues.
