Life with a dash of zing
Interview with Marilu Vella from the E&D magazine (Times of Malta). All photos in this interview were taken by Chris Sant Fournier for E&D. Guilt-free pastizzi might sound like an unachievable nirvana to all foodies who despair that the calorie and fat content make it impossible for them to this traditional speciality. But Gourmet [...]
The last instalment in John A Bonello’s Il-Logħba tal-Allat trilogy was recently released to the delight of fantasy fans in Malta. Fantasy epics set across multiple worlds are not exactly common genres with Maltese writers. You could say that the only other bona fide fantasy trilogy written in our native language was Simon Bartolo’s and [...]
Hailed as one of the greatest screwball comedies ever made, Arsenic & Old Lace is finally being staged by MADC in Malta later this month. Joe Depasquale, who will be playing the role of Jonathan Brewster, gave me some insights about his role in the production. Arsenic & Old Lace is the one production that [...]
Two highly promising art students – Rebecca Xuereb and Asma Dekna – have just had their first joint exhibition put up at St Edward’s College. I met up with the two budding artists to find out more about the creative passion that led them to spend their every waking hour preparing for this event. [...]
It’s been some months since cast and crew of World War Z decamped from Malta. And yet, some six months later, Christian McWilliams is already back on our island to participate in the first Malta Film Commission Locations Seminar.

Reno Bugeja, PBS journalist and host of the weekly Dissett, is very familiar with the frenzy that is created when a strong political wave hits our island. After all, he has been presenting Dissett for over three years: his [...]
Maltese folk is back in the spotlight, albeit with a twist as Kantilena are set to debut their latest singles this weekend. I met up with Sandro Lia, Drinu Camilleri and James Baldacchino, the brains behind the outfit. You could say that all three founding members of Kantilena have folk on their minds. Take violinist [...]
March will see Tele-Monkey, a locally produced short movie in Stereoscopic 3D animation, hit our cinema screens. As the trailer is making waves across social media networks, I met up with film-maker Martin Bonniċi, the brains behind the whole project. Meet Joe. His obsession is to understand the meaning behind the advertising and TV-shopping that [...]
Slightly disturbing, visually entrancing and definitely different, Ritty Tacsum’s photography touches a raw nerve with the viewer. I met up with the artiste to discuss her current exhibition, Ritty Tacsum and Her Humanoids. Describing this lady’s photography is not an easy thing.
