Malta is rolling out the red carpet—or rather, the open sky—for two unforgettable outdoor film screenings in June 2025, celebrating its 100-year legacy as a cinematic gem. If you’re dreaming of a trip to this Mediterranean paradise, these events are your cue to book those tickets and dive into a movie experience like no other.

Gladiator at Fort Ricasoli: Relive the Epic Where It Was Born

On June 14th at 9pm, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator storms back to Fort Ricasoli in Kalkara, the very fortress that doubled as ancient Rome in the film. Picture this: you’re seated beneath the stars, surrounded by the same stone walls where Maximus battled for glory, watching the epic unfold on a massive screen. Entry is free, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure—and maybe a cushion for those historic ramparts.

Popeye in Valletta: A Whimsical Night with a View

Then, on June 22nd from 8:30pm to 11:00pm, Popeye sails into Laparelli Gardens in Valletta. This 1980 classic, filmed entirely in Malta (hello, Popeye Village!), stars Robin Williams in a quirky tale that’s perfect for a family night out. With Valletta’s stunning bastions as your backdrop and a warm summer breeze in the air, it’s a cinematic treat you’ll want to snag tickets for in advance.

Why Malta in June?

These screenings are part of the Mediterrane Film Festival, spotlighting Malta’s starring role in global cinema. June brings balmy evenings, golden sunsets, and a vibe that’s pure Mediterranean magic—ideal for exploring the island’s beaches, history, and food between movie nights. Whether you’re a film buff or just love a good story, these events add a special twist to your Maltese getaway.

So, pack your bags and time your visit to catch these one-of-a-kind screenings. Malta’s waiting to steal the scene—and your heart!
