Illusion of Faith brings together filmmakers and actors from Malta, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Venezuela, Brazil and Poland, making it a truly international production with strong Maltese roots.
The film follows a fugitive whose arrival draws a detective into a mystery that blurs the lines between faith, reason and reality.
The cast includes Maltese actors such as Henry Zammit Cordina, Jaimie Busuttil, Frida Cauchi, Mikhail Basmadjian, Josette Ciappara, Paul Sant, Clara Sciberras, Francesco Borg, Jeremy Vella and Jessica Jane Cassar, alongside an international ensemble.
Malta also plays a starring role in the production, with the film making extensive use of the island's historic chapels, religious sites and coastal landscapes to create its distinctive atmosphere.
Congratulations to the entire team and good luck in Los Angeles!
