Nighttime at the Station (2018)

Nighttime at the Station is a poetry film which was inspired by the work of one of Malta's leading poets, Oliver Friggieri. In his poem 'Il-Lejl f'Dan l-Istazzjon' he depicts a voyager arriving late at the station and watching the last train fade into blackness. Mallia uses this narrative to build on a metaphoric level, and explores the themes of childhood, nostalgia and meaning.
