EXHIBITION: FACES FROM CINEMA
In his work Vuk Jevremovic reflects a natural force that is perceived in his great plastic works as well as in movement. Although his initial training was in architecture, Jevremovic has always been linked to painting and later to animation. With his animated shorts he has participated in different editions of the Sitges, International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia.
In Faces from Cinema he uses the language of painting to transmit the energy of the actor or actress in the movie moment in which he or she was captured. At the same time, he pays tribute to some of the best faces in best faces in film history and from many movies that have participated in the International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia.

The Miramar Building (C. Davallada) throughout the entire festival, October 1st to the 12th.
The Sala Estudi Vidal, C. d’en Bosch, from October 7th to the 25th.

EXHIBITION NO INTERRUMPAS MI SUEÑO GRIS
Taking place within the framework of the International Fantastic Film Festival of Sitges is the exhibition “NO INTERRUMPAS MI SUEÑO GRIS” (Don’t interrupt my grey dream) with sculptures, paintings, drawings and audiovisuals – all the work of artist MARIO GOMEZ CALVO (Zaragoza 1959).
His creatures from another world, presented in a misty light, make up a theatrical staging justifying anxiety, unease. They also bring to mind the recollection of the same anxiety caused by the engravings from Goya’s black series, or the surrealistic scenes from many of Buñuel’s scenes, which, by the way.
Dragonflies, flies, fleas, several invertebrates, oversized and artistically altered (and not genetically) make up a black and white nightmare. A nightmare we don’t want to leave, but observe it as spectators … see the end of the dream, like in the movies we see with fear, reservations – and, sometimes, terror but that draws us into seeing the whole movie without interruptions of any kind, with no color advertising breaking the magic of the feeling created.
Gómez Calvo’s work juxtaposes the work as an individual unit in itself and the same work as a piece of a greater theatrical puzzle, the choreography of an itinerary where the emotion contained at the beginning reaches its climax and breaks away from the routine and monotony of an everyday life that, thanks to the artist’s great creativity, imagination and knowhow no leaves no one indifferent.
At the frontiers of reality, Gómez Calvo takes a step forward as we do along with him.

H. R. Giger's Alien 1:1 at Sitges'09
In a worldwide exclusive, 3 months before its appearance on the market, Cuernavilla.com presents this replica of Alien at Sitges 09.
This sculpture is 2 incredible meters tall in its pedestal, is made of fiberglass, every single detail is hand-painted, is presented in the classic "Giger" pose, and its arms can be positioned at will. The head, that covers the internal skeleton, is translucent and holds a deadly “tongue” inside. IT is completed with a reproduction of the Sulaco’s floor as a display stand and a bottom light allowing you to light up the Alien and give it the same ferocious look as in the movie.
We will also exhibit the rest of its vital forms: embryonic state in the characteristic Alien Egg, the image of the Festival poster, the facehugger in its cryostasis tube, the chestburster trapped red-handed and, of course, the already developed Adult Alien.
