Episode 23: Sitges 2025

I took the opportunity during my third time at Sitges Film Festival to chat with some fine people who came to this gargantuan annual celebration of horror. You'll hear from film professor Alison Peirse and film journalist Daniela Urzola who were on Sitges juries (different juries, there are quite a few at this fest), genre filmmakers Arianne Hinz and Avalon Fast as well as film programmers Sabina Pujol and Sara Neidorf, who is also the co-director of Final Girls Berlin with me. I hope this gives you a glimpse of what being at the largest genre film festival in the world is like and that it motivates you to go in the future!Show Notes:Alison Pierse’s WebsiteAlison Pierse’s InstagramDoing Women’s Global Horror Film HistoryDaniela Urzola’s InstagramDaniela Urzola’s LetterboxdArianne Hinz’s WebsiteArianne Hinz’s InstagramAvalon Fast’s WebsiteAvalon Fast’s InstagramSabina Pujol’s InstagramB-Retina Film FestivalFilmetsCryptshow FestSara Neidorf’s WebsiteSara Neidorf’s InstagramMellowdeath BandcampWeapons (2025)The Monkey (2025)Barbarian (2022)House of Psychotic Women Kier-La Janisse1000 Women in Horror (2025)Zodiac Killer Project (2025)Catherine GrantBeyond Clueless (2014)Doing Women’s Film HistoryThe ‘Burbs (1989)Piranha (1978)The Fog (1980)Nancy LoomisJoe DantePicnic At Hanging Rock (1975)Melies D’OrFilm Madrid FestivalCAMP (2025)Fucktoys(2025)Queens of the Dead (2025)Alice Maio MackayVera DrewJane SchoenbrunWoman in Fan The Plague (2025)Arianne Hinz’s new film MarionettesSystem Crasher (2019)E.T. the Extraterrestrial (1982)Rabbit Trap (2025)Tornado (2025)Lesbian Space Princess (2024)Honeycomb (2022)Slamdance FestivalThe Virgin Suicides (1999)American Beauty (1999)Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)Anything That Moves (2025)Lucid (2025)Mother of Flies (2025)Hellbender (2021)Castration Movie I (2024)The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)Fuck My Son!
