Hello, I’m Kerry, originally British and living on the beautiful island of Gozo since 2021. I’ve always loved TV and the movies, and had the luck of working in a film-adjacent field for a while, where I got to meet amazing filmmakers from around the world.


The inspiration to create Scene on Gozo came from meeting several fans of The Madame Blanc Mysteries. They had travelled to Gozo specifically to visit the locations but then had no idea exactly where to find them. One lady came all the way from Tasmania! So I thought I’d put together a handy guide to all the Madame Blanc filming locations that I could find.

Then I thought, “I wonder what else has been filmed here?” and that led me down an internet rabbit hole for a few months, and the creation of this site. When it launched in December 2024, I think it featured around 50 productions, we’re now approaching one hundred!

Gozo has been the backdrop for some incredible productions, from iconic blockbusters to beloved TV shows. Some productions are well known, like Game of Thrones and The Madame Blanc Mysteries, but there are many others you might not have realised were filmed here, such as Clash of the Titans, The Da Vinci Code, Brideshead Revisited, andThe League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Coronation Street even shot here back 2007.I’ve discovered so many surprises already as I’ve researched Gozo’s cinematic history. For example, Joan Collins was moved to divorce her then-husband, Antony Newley, after the experience of filming his semi-autobiographical musical, Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? on the island. With Gozo seeming to attract even more film crews in recent years, I’m sure there’s a lot more fascinating facts to come!


I also wanted to make it easier for fellow film lovers to find these locations and make the most of their visit, by giving practical guides on how to get to Gozo, the best way to travel around, where to stay and lots, lots more. It’s going to take a while to build all those guides up, but if you have a question or want me to write about something in particular, please just get in touch!


The final reason I wanted to put Scene on Gozo together is that so many of the tourists I meet visit Gozo just for a day. Quite a lot for only a few hours as part of a joint Comino-Gozo tour. This beautiful island deserves more than time and attention than a quick whizz around the Citadel and lunch in Xlendi. Through this site, I want to encourage visitors to stay and explore properly, to discover the magic and beauty of Gozo. As part of that, we’re delighted that we’re a member of the Gozo Tourism Association, which also aims to increase quality tourism to Gozo. 
 
So please join the journey with me. Whether you’re a film buff, a curious traveller, or both, I hope this site helps you discover something new about this gorgeous place and the productions that have chosen to film here.

FAQ

Gozo offers a diverse range of landscapes that can depict many settings, from ancient worlds to fantasy locations. Coupled with Malta’s favourable 40% Cash Rebate for filmmakers, it’s not surprising that Gozo is seen by many as the perfect place for TV and film production.

Absolutely! In fact, you’ve already visited Gozo, or you live here. You may well have walked through several locations without realising it! Lots of Gozo’s filming locations are accessible to the public, from the Citadel to the scenic bays and historic churches. Just be respectful of private property and follow any posted guidelines.

There aren’t any guided tours specifically for film spots, though most tours of Gozo will include popular filming locations such as Dwejra Bay and Victoria. You can also rent a car or electric bike to explore the filming locations at your own pace.

Scene on Gozo is a travel website that explores the beauty of Gozo through the various films and TV shows shot on the island. Our goal is to help movie lovers and travellers discover the magic of Gozo by visiting real-life filming locations.

Currently, we don’t offer tours, but we can provide all the information you need to plan your own tour of Gozo’s famous film spots. If you have a question about planning your trip, send us an email.

We do! On each individual production page you should find a map flagging the spots we know were used. If there’s isn’t a map, that’s because we haven’t been able to identify that spot just yet. You can also find overarching maps for TV productions and Movie on our Gozo Filming Locations Map page, along with a breakdown of which production were shot in which village.
