Kinemastik is a cultural NGO based in Malta, responsible for a year-round programme of film screenings, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, talks and short film production.
The Kinemastik International Short Film Festival takes place in July and is usually held over three days at The Garden of Rest, a deconsecrated cemetery overlooking the Marsamxett Harbour.
Kinemastik collaborates with international filmmakers and festivals to bring independent film to a local audience. The festival is now in its 18th year.
Kinemastik links local filmmakers to the world of cinema, providing them with a platform for their work, through local screenings as well as through worldwide distribution of locally produced works.
Kinemastik is supported by Arts Council Malta through an Investment in Cultural Organisations grant.
