Director of BLAT Wins Malta Film Award
The Mikiel Anton Vassalli College and City of Humanity would like to congratulate Mr Alan Fenech, School Administrator at the Malta School for Dance & Drama, which is found within the same College, for the prestigious award won last Saturday at the Malta Film Awards. Fenech won the Best Classic Award for his film Scrooge which he had produced with Tony Parnis.
Scrooge was produced in 2008, and this film meant that for the first time ever, a classic book was available in Maltese for and on local television. The film, directed by Tony Parnis, was written, and produced by Alan Fenech who also interpreted the part of Bob Cratchit in this production.
Scrooge had original music composed by Dominic Cini, costumes by Louiè Noir, editing by Justin Camilleri and a makeup team led by Anton Farrugia, which were some of the main aspects that made this production one of a high calibre.
