Festival of Sitges, an event with history<\/h2>\n

The Sitges Festival has its origin in the Week of Cinema, Photo and Audio-vision<\/strong>, an event celebrated only once in 1967 and that served to form the idea of the Sitges Festival, whose official name is the Fantastic Film Festival of Sitges<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This has been held uninterrupted since 1968, first as I International Week of Fantastic Film and later, in 1971 as a festival.<\/p>\n
