Malta Film Commissioner Johann Grech hailed the recent tender for the development of a land-sea super stage in Kalkara.

“Today’s launch marks the final piece of the jigsaw in creating a world-class film industry in Malta,” Mr Grech said.

“We are committed to taking Malta’s film infrastructure to the next level.”

The tender is soliciting bids from the private sector for a major redevelopment of the Kalkara film studios. 

It includes the development of a deep-water tank and super stage, a shallow tank facility and a head office and production building. The studios must be fully operational within two years of signing the concession.

The winning tenderer will get to operate the film studios for the next 65 years and will receive an annual fee from the Government. 

Mr Grech said the project will further consolidate Malta’s position as a leading international filming destination, while creating new opportunities for investment, employment and economic growth.
