FILFLA will be screened before the ‘Count of Monte Cristo’. Tickets can be purchased from here.

The festival will take place between 26th June and 18th July 2020 and will be hosting a series of cultural and entertainment activities staged along the Valletta Waterfront, intending to bring the Maltese artistic scene closer to the community in a celebration of summer.
