The Sitges film festival 2009 is the number one fantasy film festival in the world and represents, at the same time, the cultural expression with the most media impact in Catalonia.

This is the 42nd edition of the fantasy film festival of Catalonia and will be held from October 2nd to October 12th in Sitges, close to Barcelona. What began as a small event has become over the years one of the most important film festivals in Europe and is recognized internationally. In previous versions we were able to enjoy great films by great directors. Some of the more notable projected films have been David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986), Lars von Trier’s Europa (1993), The Ring by Hideo Nakata (1999), Vidocq of Pitof (2002) and Kill Bill by Quentin Tarantino (2003).

A few of the films that are scheduled to be projected are; Grace, Orphan, The Final Destination, Moon, Toy Story 3D, Crows II, etc. Another highlight of the festival will be the award of honour that will be presented to Malcolm McDowell, well known for his role as Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange (1971).

Apart from the impressive films and the famous film directors, the festival will offer a great program of activities such as concerts of different music genres and styles, creative workshops, interesting lectures, and so on.

Sitges is a beautiful little town just few kilometres south from the city of Barcelona and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on the Catalan coast. This is a great opportunity to combine the spectacular Sitges fantasy film festival 2009 with your holidays in this charming Catalan capital.
