The number one fantasy film festival in the world is back for another year, as Sitges turns into a film lovers' paradise for a week of screenings, exhibitions and presentations of fantasy films from across the world. With a solid track record, the event offers a stimulating framework for meetings, exhibitions, presentations and projections.

Born in 1968 as the 1st International Week of Fantasy and Horror Movies, today the festival is an essential rendezvous for movie lovers and audiences eager to come into contact with new tendencies and technologies applied to film and the audiovisual world.

Films confirmed this year include A Different Man by Aaron Schimberg, an A24 production starring Sebastian Stan; Exhuma by Jang Jae-hyun is one of the best examples of supernatural horror in recent years featuring Choi Min-sik; Azrael by E. L. Katz with Samara Weaving is a delicious blend of folk and survival horror; Timestalker, Alice Lowe's bawdy reincarnation rom-com will take you back to the past and The Devil's Bath from Austrian filmmakers Veronika Franz, Severin Fialaand.

From France we'll see MadS, by David Moreau which promises to be one of the biggest sensations at the festival and Animale, the second film by French director Emma Benestan with Oulaya Amamra.

Arriving from Hong Kong is Peg O' My Heart, a terrifying film directed by and starring Nick Cheung, one of the great stars of Hong Kong television and film.

From Ireland comes one of the big surprises in horror movie making from this first half of the year: Oddity, directed by Damian Mc Carthy. Cursed objects, mediums and a truly disturbing atmosphere have made this film one of the biggest horror movie surprises from this first half of the year, winning over audiences at South by Southwest.

Every year, the town of Sitges prepares for its annual meeting with fans of fantastic, the industry and the press. The Festival combines the best genre cinema of the moment with a look at films that have traced the history of fantastic, as well as adding tributes to film personalities with a special connection to fantastic.
