"From the studio that watched the first two seasons of Downton Abbey"

A spoof that crosses Downton Abbey with Airplane! and Monty Python, Fackham Hall follows loveable pick-pocket Eric Noone (Radcliffe) as he lands a job at a unique English manor house. He quickly rises through the ranks, and a forbidden romance with lady-of-the-house Rose Davenport (McKenzie) blossoms. But when an unexpected murder occurs, Eric gets framed - leaving Rose and her family’s future perilously uncertain.

All the VFX by Stargate Studios Malta, with the production benefitting from the Malta Cash Rebate scheme.

The Malta Pavilion at Expo 2025 has been awarded the Bronze Medal – People’s Award in Osaka, Japan! 🥉🇲🇹

We’re proud that Stargate Studios Malta played a part in this international project, commissioned by WeVR. Inside the pavilion, our team created a number of visuals on the internal screen, capturing Malta’s industry, culture, heritage, innovation and environment through cinematography, editing and VFX. Outside, we brought the entrance to life with a site-specific Unreal Engine timelapse on the LED façade, revealing five doorways into Malta throughout the day.

With more than half a million visitors already stepping inside, it’s been an honour to help showcase Malta on the world stage. 🌍

In the high-stakes world of VFX, precision is everything… but come lunchtime, our artists trade frame rates for table soccer. This is where legends are made, rivalries are born, and very few play fair.
Welcome to the beautiful game… lunchbreak edition. ⚽️ 🥅 🏆

Stargate Studios Malta continues to push the boundaries of immersive imaging technology by developing a low-cost light-field camera system. As part of the TESP 2025 funding initiative, this innovative project is being strengthened through collaboration with the Faculty of ICT at the University of Malta

A key milestone in this effort is hiring a full-time programmer dedicated to developing the core algorithm for multi-camera calibration—an essential step in ensuring accurate depth capture and image reconstruction. This partnership marks a significant step forward in making advanced light-field imaging more accessible and cost-effective.

Have you watched the latest season of Black Mirror on Netflix? This season is special to us as we worked on a number of episodes - the closest to our hearts was Common People, for which we were the hero vfx vendor, with our work taking up the lion's share in that episode.

We are so proud of being part of this series for yet another season. And very proud of what our humble team in Malta has achieved over the years.

Enjoy watching!
