Silent film chronicling events in Malta in 1927-28, shot by Alfred Vella Gera. I believe such a film was intended to be shown in cinema theatres as a preview before the main feature.
This film includes footage of L-Imnarja festival in Buskett, a military event in St George's Square, Valletta, the 8th September Regatta in the Grand Harbour, the commemoration of Sette Giugno, also in Valletta, a funeral cortege, La Valette band club returning triumphant from a trip overseas, and more.
The title/credits were added much later, in the late 80s, when Vella Gera's films were featured in a magazine programme on Xandir Malta.
