The Mediterrane Film Festival is a celebration of film and creativity that brings together the best of the Mediterranean region and beyond.
Established in 2023, the annual event takes place in the beautiful islands of Malta and aims to unite
countries to foster collaboration, opportunity, and a shared love for film. The festival showcases exceptional films from the region and serves as a platform for filmmakers, industry professionals, and enthusiasts to connect, exchange ideas, and create partnerships for future projects.
Mediterrane’s inaugural year in 2023 screened 24 films in selection, with nine films competing for the Golden Bee Awards. The festival welcomed over 300 film professionals and 7,000 participants in total.
This year, the festival includes four programming strands:
1. The Competition Section, devoted only to films from countries bordering the Mediterranean.
2. The Out of Competition section will present exceptional films from all over the world which will compete for
a people’s choice Audience Award.
3. The Mare Nostrum (Our Sea) section showcases narrative and documentary films dedicated to sustainability and the environment.
4. Future Visions will present a selection of immersive virtual reality projects and will be open to all future-facing audiovisual experiments.
Mediterrane culminates with the Golden Bee Awards Ceremony, celebrating and honouring both films from the festival's official selection as well as distinguished persons working in film.
