A Vipers Pit (Is-Sriep Reġgħu Saru Velenużi) is set to hit cinema screens later this year.
Set in 1984 and 2012, the film treads the line between political thriller and family drama as it takes a hard look at the decades-old relationships between big business and politics in Malta, a combination that can lead to deadly consequences. At its centre is a fictional assassination attempt on former prime minister Dom Mintoff s life and the impact the conspiracy has on an inter-generational web of characters.
The short film In-Nani f’Art il-Ġganti is an exceedingly poignant look into the present moment. It invites viewers into a conversation in which two friends “negotiate a space full of webs of power” with the COVID-19 pandemic as a backdrop. The film’s writer and director,
Noah Fabri, speaks to
Lara Zammit about the ideas percolating throughout the production.
In-Nani f’Art il-Ġganti is a slow-paced short film revolving around a conversation between two friends who take a walk through the countryside during the fallout of COVID-19. What prompted you to create this short film? What are the ideas behind it?
