61 Days, 14 hours

It’s only 61 days and 14 hours until this year’s Festival Internacional De Cinema Fantastic De Catalunya (that’s the Sitges Film Festival to you and me) and already the excitement is reaching fever pitch – flights have been booked, the accomodation is reserved and the beers are on the bar.

With that in mind, we’re aiming to bring you as much information as early as possible. A few details are already available on the site here and we aim to keep you updated with trailers and information as they arrive.

As the date for entries has now passed, we’re hopeful that more information is going to be available soon, although going on past years, we’ll usually find out more some time around the middle of September.

Today’s trailer is the hotly-anticipated [REC] 2 which we expect will probably open the festival. Tickets will probably be at a premium and if the first installment is anything to go by, we’d better take spare underwear.

The Road To Sitges 2009

I like to think of Team CorridorStyle as a big bear.

While we here at CS could never claim to be the most active of Bloggers, even we experience a state of reduced activity and metabolic depression during the metaphorical winter that closes in between Sitges film festivals. However, as the permafrost acting of Nicolas Cage gives way to the first green-screen shoots of Korean cinema’s latest offerings, strange guttural sounds soon begin to emanate from somewhere deep within the Corridors of Style.

For the last few years Spring has heralded the start of our Festival preparations, and this year has been no different – until now.

Having recently moved to this new home for our cinematic musings we’ve decided now would be a good time to let others in on our pre-festival rummaging and ferreting. Why should we do all the hard work and you reap all the rewards? Because we’re Nice Guy Eddie here at CS – That’s why.

Between now and October 2nd we’ll be sharing our thoughts and findings as we scheme our schemes and hatch our hatches for what’s sure to be another full-on program of Movies and Mahous.

Even if you’re not planning to make it to the festival this year why not live the experience vicariously through us by following our Tweets or by hooking up to our Blog RSS.
