    The Maltese Ministry of Finance is launching a new Malta Film Fund which will disburse €233,000 for shorts, documentaries, and feature films.

    A similar fund was started in 2008, but under the Ministry of Education. The Maltese Film Commission is jointly responsible for implementing the 2009 fund.

    The deadline to apply for funding is March 1, 2010, with results of funding to be announced in April. The website for information is www.maltafilmfund.gov.mt. Further information will be revealed in a conference planned for December.
