Mediterranean Film Studios

Since they opened in 1963, Mediterranean Film Studios (MFS) has hosted dozens of feature films, TV dramas, mini-series, commercials and music videos, almost all of them featuring action set on water. Situated at Rinella on the eastern coast, the two main water tanks have a clear horizon behind them, allowing directors to film in a controlled environment and create the illusion that the on-screen characters are miles out to sea. You may well have seen that illusion in one or more of MFS’s recent credits, including Cutthroat Island, Pinocchio, Swept Away, U-571 and White Squall.
