From Thursday 3 to Sunday 13 October, Sitges' fantastic film festival will screen more than 220 films.
From October 3rd to the 13th, Sitges will be offering the best genre films of the moment, at an edition featuring the power of feature film debuts, the great presence of filmmakers, a selection of the most outstanding and wide-ranging animation of the moment and a top level growth in the short section. With an Official Selection including names like Robert Eggers, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet, Richard Stanley, Jonas Alexander Arnby, Fabrice Du Welz, Gaspar Noé or Aaron Morhead and Justin Benson, the selection of shorts also reflects their importance and validity as an essential genre format, with great names committed to them such as Yorgos Lanthimos with Nimic, or Chloe Sevigny’s first foray into directing with White Echo. And the Festival won’t be forgetting about a renowned and auteur-oriented cinema that can be discovered in Òrbita, the section dedicated to bringing together the latest trends in thrillers, Noves Visions with its commitment to innovation and experimentation with cinematic languages, and the refocusing of the Seven Chances section, as it now reaches a quarter of a century, with the rediscovery of fantastic films, forgotten, ill-treated or simply lost in time. In addition to a Brigadoon section where Italian cinema, Italian science fiction exploitation and documentaries become the protagonists of an edition that will be presenting its Nosferatu award to director Pupi Avati.
The Festival will continue to maintain its five screens where most of the films included in its official sections will be shown: Auditori Meliá Sitges, Retiro, Prado, Brigadoon and the Tramuntana Room. But you can also see some of them at other of the film competition’s theaters, with free admission to the Hort de Can Falç or the Miramar Cultural Center, where we will be offering the most cutting-edge virtual reality experiences.
