About Scene on Gozo
Hello, I’m Kerry. I’m a travel writer and author based on Gozo, and I specialise in film tourism: where films and TV shows were made, and how you can visit those places yourself.
I left London for Malta in 2019 and moved to Gozo in 2021. My writing has appeared in Business Insider [and Universal Traveller, once live], and I’ve talked about Gozo’s screen history on the podcast If You Film It They Will Come. I’m the author of Gozo in a Day: The Film & TV Locations Guide, and my next book, The Real Sainte Victoire: The Madame Blanc Mysteries Filming Locations Unofficial Guide, is out in November 2026.
How Scene on Gozo Started
Before Gozo I worked at MOFILM, a platform connecting brands with independent filmmakers, which took me to film festivals across Europe, America and Asia. So when I kept meeting fans of The Madame Blanc Mysteries who had travelled to Gozo to see the locations and had no idea where to find them, I paid attention. One lady had come all the way from Tasmania!
Then I wondered what else had been filmed here. That question led to months of research and, in December 2024, this site. It launched with around 50 productions. It now covers more than 100.
What You’ll Find Here
Some productions are well known, like Game of Thrones and The Madame Blanc Mysteries. Others you might not have realised were filmed here, such as Clash of the Titans, The Da Vinci Code (allegedly), Brideshead Revisited and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Coronation Street even filmed here in 2007.
The research keeps turning up surprises. Joan Collins said filming Anthony Newley’s semi-autobiographical musical, Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?, on the island was what pushed her to divorce him. With more crews choosing Gozo every year, there’s plenty still to find.
Each production page has location maps, and the Gozo Filming Locations Map breaks everything down village by village. Alongside the locations, I write practical guides on getting to and around Gozo, and where to stay, so you can plan a whole trip rather than a single photo stop.
More Than a Day Trip
Many of the visitors I meet see Gozo for a few hours as part of a Comino and Gozo tour: a quick loop of the Citadel and lunch in Xlendi. The island deserves more time than that. Through this site I want to encourage people to stay longer and see it properly. Scene on Gozo is a member of the Gozo Tourism Association, which shares that aim of quality tourism for Gozo.
If you have a question, or there’s something you’d like me to write about, please get in touch.
Writing and Press
I write about film tourism and set-jetting, Malta and Gozo, and island life in the Mediterranean. I’m open to commissions, press requests and film tourism collaborations. You can see my published work on Muck Rack and contact me at hello@sceneongozo.com.
