The International Fantasy Film Festival of Catalonia, also known as the Sitges Film Festival, is one of the most established international film festivals in Europe. Actually, this year it marks its 44th anniversary of showing the public the best films of the fantasy genre. From the 6th until the 16th of October 2011, more than one hundred films spread over three different spaces will be screened one after the other with no break in the middle.
The starting gun this year will be the film ´Eva´, a futuristic outlook directed by a very young director called Kike Maíllo, with two inaugural screenings (at 10am and 12pm) in the place known as the ´Auditorio´ (Retiro, Tramonta, Prado and Miramar are the suggestive names of the other screening places). To the different and varied awards (Honorific Grand Prize, Time Machine, Casa Asia or the different traditional categories) we can add truly glamorous red carpet which makes this event an unmissable one for the fans of all types of film.
Sitges is at a reasonable distance from the Catalan capital but very well communicated so, with your tickets which can be bought online, you have to book some of the excellent apartments in Barcelona At some point you´ll have to give your eyesight and soul a rest.
