If you live in Malta and haven’ heard about Simshar the Movie then you must have been living under a very large rock with no means of communication.
Simshar is one of the first big budget Maltese movies ever produced and basically our first feature length film filmed for an international audience. Although fictional, it is based on true events, on the Maltese tragedy labelled ‘Simshar’.
The official Plot Outline is as follows :
Young Theo is sent on his first trip with his Maltese sea faring family, but things go terribly wrong when the ‘Simshar’ sinks, leaving the crew stranded in the Mediterranean… Simultaneously, Alex — a medic reluctantly dispatched onto a Turkish Merchant vessel which has rescued a group of stranded African boat people between Malta and Italy — gets stuck on the boat as the countries wage a bureaucratic war over who should take in the migrants… The stories unravel in parallel and culminate tragically when the fishermen are traced down, but by that time there’s only one survivor.
The good news is that the wait is finally over and the movie is ready to be released.
The movie premiere date has been announced – 27 April 2014 at Empire Cinemas, Bugibba. It will be a red carpet event which will be attended by all the actors, key crew members. The great thing is that until tickets sell out, anyone can attend! Buy your tickets from here.
And in more good news I have joined the team to be the official style blogger for the pemiere night – this means that in the weeks leading up to the event I will be telling you all about the costumes used in the film, the clothes to be worn on the night by the leading women, the designers used etc etc I will also be covering the fashion on the night of course (both of the regular audience and the vip attendees) 🙂
So if you’e coming to the premiere make sure you wear your most fabulous outfit so as to get spotted.
