Sitges – International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia

Sitges Film Festival is a international film festival and a go-to spot in Sitges for the LGBTQIA+ community. It stands out for its inclusive atmosphere and a programme that changes with the season, from Easter to the end of summer, with weekend activity the rest of the year. Staff usually speak several languages and the crowd mixes locals and international visitors. It is held every October with screenings, premieres, industry events, the Zombie Walk and many parallel activities. It usually includes films and retrospectives of interest to LGBTQIA+ audiences and welcomes a very diverse community. It is well placed for linking up with other classic stops in the Sitges 'gay village' —Joan Tarrida, Bonaire, Espalter and Sant Bonaventura streets or Plaça de la Indústria—, so it is easy to combine with restaurants, beaches and events such as Pride, Bears Week or Carnival. It is advisable to check opening hours in low season and to book/confirm via social media when there are shows or special parties.
