The Phoenicia has always made a priority of supporting local culture and talent. We are extremely happy to be partnering with the Valletta Film Festival for the second year running as it “lights up” the city this June. – Director of Sales & Marketing Rob Bruno.
“The partnership between Film Grain Foundation and The Phoenicia Malta allows guests of the festival to receive the epitome of what local hospitality can offer. The Phoenicia Malta is first-rate and we’re proud to be renewing our collaboration for the second year running,” Festival Director Oliver Mallia said.
“The hotel’s history and location make it the perfect hotel for the Valletta Film Festival and the support received is allowing the foundation to bring more high-profile filmmakers to the island,” he added. “Last year, our guests were welcomed warmly by the sterling service provided by the team at The Phoenicia and we’re sure this year’s filmmakers will feel just at home,” he concluded.
