Boasting the title of ‘the world’s number one fantasy film festival’, the Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya, to give it its full name, is held in the usually quiet and picturesque coastal town of Sitges, just outside Barcelona.

Attracting audiences of all ages with its eclectic selection of presentations, exhibitions and screenings focusing on all things frightening and fantastic, the festival shows off the best in up-coming Spanish and International movies from the horror and fantasy genre.

This year, the festival will likely be the most unique one of all time, with many evident problems in place for the event to overcome, we are hopeful that it will be as memorable as it always is. Attracting film fanatics, actors and directors from all over the world, it leaves a real sense of inspiration and a lust for creativity unlike any other event in Catalonia. With submissions closing in mid July 2020, there is a real sense of excitement around this year’s event.

What’s more, awards will be dished out to those newcomers showing signs of hot talent. By popular vote, the audience can also decide on the audience award for best fantastic genre feature film.

Walking Among the Dead

Zombie Walk, Sitges Film FestivalThere are various parallel activities that run during the Sitges Film Festival, and one of the most popular is the Zombie Walk.

The Zombie Walk usually gives visitors the crazy yet memorable opportunity of dressing like the living dead and shuffling down the streets of Sitges. It’s totally free, and there is even a make-up zone to help you look a little less… alive.

If it’s not really your thing, but you still want to experience all the zombie action, head to the beach on the night of the walk and hit the free party on the sands. For the most up-to-date information on tickets and a full schedule of events, visit the Sitges Film Festival Website.
