I moved to Gozo in 2021, started tracking film locations for fun, and ended up running the island's only film-tourism dedicated site and shop.
I was already working on Malta when I landed a remote job, and Gozo seemed worth a go. If we did not take to it, we could always move back to Malta, or wherever came next. That was the whole plan.
Somewhere between finding a great bar in Victoria and getting hooked on a British murder mystery series, Gozo stopped being an experiment and started being home. The series was The Madame Blanc Mysteries, and once you know the antique shop is really a vintage thrift shop in Victoria, and that the heart of Sainte Victoire is down the road in Għarb, you cannot unsee it. I started trying to find all the locations myself, working out which doorstep belonged to which character, which cafe in the show was really a taverna two streets over. Scene on Gozo grew out of that habit.
What began as one obsession turned into a proper archive. Gozo and Comino have quietly hosted well over a hundred productions, from Game of Thrones and Troy to Brideshead Revisited and the various screen versions of The Count of Monte Cristo. I track them down by trawling Filmed in Malta's records, asking around in local Facebook groups, rewatching and screengrabbing the productions themselves, and occasionally cornering an extra at the bar to ask where a scene was really shot. I was on set for Madame Blanc Series 5, which I cannot say much about yet beyond this: yes, it is filming here, and yes, it is worth the wait.
The shop is the next part of that same habit, just one you can hold. It has grown into four collections, each for a different way of loving this island. There are the guides and prints for anyone visiting Gozo, whether they are here for the filming locations or just the harbour views. There is a Pride collection, because Gozo's queer community and its visitors deserve it. There is a set for the Gozitan diaspora, built around original illustrations of village crests, for anyone who grew up here, has family here, or just wants Nadur or Xagħra on their sleeve rather than a postcard. And there is a small, slightly cheeky collection for locals, the kind of in-joke you only get if you have lived here.
Everything is designed by me, here on Gozo, using my own photography throughout or illustrations. Production and shipping run through Gelato, who print and post from whichever of their facilities across thirty countries is nearest to you, so your order is not crossing the Mediterranean twice to reach your door.
If you have found your way here because of a show, a village name, a flag, or just a soft spot for this particular dot in the Med, you are in the right place.
