The winning film is the work of Ray Mizzi, a policeman by profession and a film director by passion.

The Medic - filmed in four days and edited in four months - is the story of a veteran soldier who served during the Second World War. 

"I always wanted to do something about a battle during the Second World War. A battle full of explosives, rain and mud," Mizzi says.

Mizzi worked on the production, direction, editing and adaptation of the story. Joseph Navarro wrote the story.

@ Rod Abela- I do not know what is this pride you are having. I checked on the internet and it took me hours to find something about this festival. And about the jibe cwiec Maltin you do not need to be Maltese to be a cuc as cwiec exist everywere in any Nation sports bank insurance politics.... but with certain comments I am believing there is some cwiec Maltin and btw Maltin is written in capital letter
