The extraordinary true story of an engineer who built his own nation on a 4,000 sqft platform off the coast of Italy in 1968 is told in a new Netflix drama.
On the 9
th of December, Netflix released its new movie ‘Rose Island’, which is based on the true story of Giorgio Rosa, who founded a tiny nation in 1968 off of the Rimini coast, embodying an entire generation’s dreams and aspirations…
And if you’ve seen the movie already,
or at least the trailer, which is directed by Sydney Sibilia, you can see that a mock-up was built in the middle of the sea – but looks can be pretty deceiving…
The replica was actually built here in Malta, in an infinity pool! Yep, the island scenes from
Rose Island were all filmed in the Water Tank Facilities of the Malta Film Studios – which is one of the largest and most efficient production facilities in the world! In fact, the facilities have serviced over 200 feature films, TV movies, documentaries, and commercials.
