ATTENDEES’ TIPS

“The Sitges publicity office was extremely helpful with arranging scheduled interviews and photo shoots, especially on the night of the premiere.”

“Sitges hosted fantastic nightly soirees that not only encouraged networking amongst the festival filmmakers and guests, but in my case yielded some fantastic results and
excellent connections for future projects.”

“..have at least one other project under your arm – preferably already written, but at the very least presented as a visual pitching document.”
