The 54th edition of the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival which began on October 7 and ends tomorrow, the 17th, has already made public its record after the jury’s deliberation.
Throughout these weeks we have seen in Sitges the premiere of several films as interesting as Belle, Mamoru Hosoda’s latest feature film or The Spine of Night, a promising horror film made using animation by rotoscopy.
But the one who has won the award for best film has been Lamb, an Icelandic film of Valdimar Johánnsson, which also has the best direction reveal and the best female performance by Noomi rapace.
