maltatoday | SUNDAY • 27 MARCH 2022 16 COMMERCIAL Atlas Insurance to sponsor Etnika's Arrow of Time Festival ATLAS Insurance will be the main sponsor of Etnika's Ar- row of Time Festival, a two- week-long concept festival of music, dance, immersive in- stallations, and collaboration with esteemed international art entities, such as Wildworks from Cornwall England, Bue- na Sombra Films from Seville, Spain, and Magna Żmien, Mal- ta. The festival will run from 28 March until 10 April and is supported by Arts Council Malta. Etnika is a leading modern folk band in Malta and has succeeded in reviving Maltese music's lost sounds. The group also researched and unearthed old instruments and melodies on the verge of extinction. "We are looking forward to this immersive festival which is out of the norm. We believe it is refreshing that Etnika is challenging expectations, and much like our aim at Atlas, will be a step ahead in bringing fresh, new experiences to their audience," said Atlas Insur- ance Managing Director and CEO, Matthew von Brockdorff. The festival will kick off on 28 March with a two-week resi- dency involving local and inter- national artists and volunteers who will engage in creative ex- changes and transfer relevant knowledge to each other. Here, six audio-visual installations based on the passage of time, entropy and culture will be built and eventually exhibited at the Aviation Museum for the final performance. Four work- shops will be given and will discuss Malta's musical herit- age, site-specificity, audience involvement and interaction, and video art installations. Performances will commence on 8 April and will run until 10 April at the Malta Aviation Museum, which will be trans- formed into a performance space, especially for the festi- val. There will be two one-hour performances each night of the festival. Audience members will be able to enjoy immer- sive multimedia performances which include music, dance, art installations and projections. Mr von Brockdorff said that Atlas Insurance is proud to help artists get back on their feet after the COVID-19 pan- demic and remains committed to its values of supporting the arts and culture. #TeamAtlas members will also be volun- teering during the festival. Tickets to the live shows are currently on sale at ticketline. com.mt. Open a fixed-term deposit account with BNF Bank and scale up your savings BNF Bank has created a 1-year Fixed-Term Deposit account to help customers scale up their savings with a competitive inter- est rate. An industry first, BNF Bank has increased its offering to 0.80%, rewarding new and existing customers who want to earn more interest on any given amount. A recent addition to the Term Deposit product family, the initiative is another com- ponent of BNF Bank's value proposition of advantageous financial service offerings with benefits that fit different cus- tomer needs. The campaign brings the bank closer to existing and potential customers who want to lock-in their savings for a longer pe- riod of time rather than risk- ing their capital in a shares or bonds account. However, this initiative also addresses young people's concerns amid grow- ing economic transformation as it allows young customers to secure their savings and earn more interest for future invest- ments. "Our customers have been - and will remain - the focus of all our new initiatives" said Melvin Pellicano, Head of Business Development. "The Fixed-Term Deposit propo- sition is simple, personal and fair offering both security and a competitive interest rate to suit particular needs" he con- tinued. In addition to the Fixed- Term Deposit account, BNF Bank customers can also ben- efit from other Term Deposit products that might better suit their needs, resulting in capi- tal and interest guaranteed on product maturity. Customers and non-cus- tomers can find out more in- formation about the 1-year Fixed-Term Deposit campaign and the Term Deposit product family on the bank's website www.bnf.bank. If you are interested in apply- ing for a Term Deposit account, you can contact us via the BNF website, through our Chatbot system (BECS) or send a se- cure message through Internet Banking.
