It's post apocalyptic Malta. The enormous weight of the construction boom has caused the island to collapse. The only ones that remain are the filthy dregs of society. Culture, however, is booming with sinister priests, voodoo goddesses, feline slaves and flesh eating virgins luring victims into their beauti- fully twisted cabaret. Writers/ performers include: Joseph Zam- mit, Alex Vella Gregory, Teodor Reljic, Veronica Stivala, Alex Spi- teri Gingell, Kevin Canter, Marie Claire Camilleri, Becky D'Ugo, Miriam Calleja, Undine Laverve, Pete Farrugia, Philip Leone Gana- do, Nathan Brimmer, James Ryder & Svetlana Pandolfino. The show is directed by Nicole Cuschieri and produced by Creative Island.

Two Trumpets For St Andrew is an Australian documentary film that follows the rivalry between two band clubs in the village of Luqa in 1968. John Calleja and Anthony Theuma are the two main pro- tagonists. We are introduced to their way of life and to their passion for their respective band clubs. Both men take us to their place of work - The military air base and the Malta dry Docks. Shot while the British occupation was ending and Malta's inde- pendence was at its inception, this film offers a rare view of how Maltese village life was at the time. The film also features inter- views with Archbishop Gonzi, Gorg Borg Olivier and Dom Mintoff. The screening is free.
