SITGES PITCHBOX 2020: INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILMS — OFFICIAL SELECTION

For the sixth consecutive year, the Filmarket Hub platform and the Sitges Film Festival are partnering to host Sitges Pitchbox — an international pitch event dedicated to horror, sci-fi and fantasy projects. The 2020 edition will be held virtually and for the first time will be focused on both international feature films and European scripted series in development.

The representatives from the projects will have seven minutes each to pitch and will be offered one to one meetings with companies such as Atresmedia Studios, El Estudio, Film Factory, Filmax, Gaumont, Globalgate Entertainment, Leonine, Lionsgate, Nadcon Film, Showrunner Films, Wild Bunch and XYZ Films. Additionally, four cash awards will be given to support development expenses.

Today, we are delighted to announce the seven feature films in development selected to pitch at the virtual event!
