A loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, dealing with a character struggling to break away from the clutches of his surroundings, was being filmed in Valletta’s Strait Street and other localities yesterday.
The short film, Hamlet of Strait Street, is being produced by Lighthouse Communications, directed by Kenneth Scicluna and supported by the Malta Film Fund.
The Malta Film Commission, together with the Culture and Audiovisual Unit within the Office of the Prime Minister, is responsible for the implementation and administration of the fund. The fund aims to encourage the development and production of Maltese films and documentaries. At present, there are 11 Maltese films being developed or produced with the fund’s support.
