A Night at the Movies As part of the celebrations to mark the 120th anniversary of the birth of local film director Brian Desmond Hurst, The Strand Arts Centre recently hosted a special screening of one of his most famous films - ‘Malta Story.’ The movie, which was released in 1953 and starred Sir Alec Guinness, gives a gripping account of an island under siege and helps to show the courage of the people of Malta, the RAF, The Navy and Merchant Navy in surviving one of the most bombed places of the Second World War.
