A documentary series which will literally open the access to buildings and institutions that are normally out of bounds. The programmes will feature a wide array of destinations and will include palaces and houses of character, religious institutions, historical sites as well as industrial facilities in which filming is usually restricted. Each programme sets out to explain the use, past and present, of these buildings which together form part of the tangible heritage present in Malta. This CVC media production will be presented and coordinated by Mario Coleiro and will be produced and directed by George and Alvin Scicluna.

Malta’s Eurovision Song Contest Entry 2017.

All backscreen special effects were all filmed using CVCmedia 4K raw equipment including primelenses and colour encoding suites.

Between early spring and the first weeks of autumn, no less than five film crews who form the backbone of CVC Media, travelled for around 2,500 kilometres in the regions of northern Italy to film and document the story of a river…. Italy`s longest: the River Po. The 32 five minute mini documentaries will be regular weekly features in the 2016 – 2017 Malta u lil hinn minnha. Their style and content vary – just as the river Po meanders along its 650 kilometres from the Alps to the Adriatic.

The mini documentaries feature the high plateaus of the Alps, the mountain hamlets, several cities well known for their arts, history and culture like Moncalieri, Torino, Piacenza, Cremona and Ferrara, as well as small towns and villages that form the backbone of hard working communities in the Valle Padana and the Delta del Po.

The team was led by Alvin Scicluna who also researched and scripted the features. Ezio Sara`, CVC`s location manager in Italy coordinated the filming programme from start to finish. This venture, which was also acknowledged in the Italian media, will remain an everlasting experience for all the company`s personnel who were involved in this overseas adventure.

For yet another year, CVC Media`s Malta u lil hinn minnha has once again been voted Malta`s best TV cultural programme. This award, organised by The Malta Institute of Journalists, is a welcome and fitting recognition to CVC Media`s nonstop efforts in promoting the many different aspects of the identity of the Maltese islands. The programme regularly presents features that expose the arts, history, culture, food and the natural environment that together make the Maltese islands unique. Moreover, this past winning edition also presented many success stories achieved by Maltese emigrants living in Australia…all filmed on location by CVC`s filmcrew.

The producers would like to thank all those involved…presenters, researchers and script writers, technical personnel and overseas logistic coordinators who, together, succeeded to produce and present this marathon cultural programme on a weekly basis.

Due credit also goes to the many programme sponsors and to Public Broadcasting Services Ltd who, since the programme inception, believed in us.

During the last days of October, CVC media was present in the town of Cisternino to produce coverages on the 4th international convention of the borghi piu’ belli del mediterraneo. Malta is represented by Birgu, the oldest maritime town on the island. Our intervention came about on an invitation by the Birgu mayor John Boxall. Apart from the usual news coverages, the features, hosted by Mario Coleiro, will be screened in CVC media’s award winning series Malta u lil hinn minnha.

CVC Media is proud to have been selected by PBS Ltd to form part of the technical assist team that has produced Ira Losco`s Walk on Water video production. The music video was filmed with our 4K raw cinematic camera and prime lenses. Aerial filming was also done by CVC.

After months of meticulous preparation which included visits to the UK, CVC media has invested heavily in the acquisition of state of the art 4K raw format. Together with 4K 16bit raw compatible post production and colour grading equipment, our company has invested in a top 4K camera plus ancillary equipment and prime lenses. This is presently the top model available in Malta. This latest investment places CVC Media on a new platform which allows it to produce and deliver top end commercials and corporates for the local and international markets. This new top end investment now puts us in a position where we can involve ourselves successfully in the film industry, with which Gozo and Malta are being presently associated.

CVC Media Group would like to record the memory of one of its main mentors and consultants, Gordon Croton – previously head at BBC TV Training Centre at Elstree, UK, who passed away recently. Gordon’s first hand advice and involvement were instrumental in the professional set up of CVC Ltd., thanks to his many visits to Gozo. In the early nineties, he enrolled our managing director Alvin in various training courses at BBC TV Training in Elstree, UK – notably the single camera production course, and the script to screen course. He personally supervised the day to day training that was accorded to Alvin in the presence of BBC internal staff. Gordon was also involved in various corporate productions and his scripts and voice overs in evergreen television documentaries are still appreciated by many. For years, together with his adorable wife Pat, Gordon was CVC’s godfather! Family and staff would like to forward heartfelt condolences to his sons Piers, Guy and Adam and their families. His teaching as well as the memories of beautiful moments spent in each other`s company will last forever.
