Sitges Film Festival
By Charlotte Stace
Founded in 1968, the Sitges Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya is the world’s leading fantasy and horror film festival. It is the number one fantasy film festival in the world bringing together a stimulating universe of encounters, exhibitions, presentations and screenings of this genre from all over the world.
Running from the 7th to 17th October, the programme includes Álex de la Iglesia’s Veneciafrenia, Raúl Cerezo and Fernando González Gómez’s The Passenger, Juanjo Giménez’s Three, and Charlotte Colbert’s She Will. Aside from the film showings, there will also be a number of panels and workshops to attend. These will feature experts in the audiovisual field who will come together to share their knowledge and discuss key issues.
The majority of the films will be shown at the Auditori at Hotel Melia Sitges this year. However, a handful will be shown online for those who cannot attend in person.
