Encounter - Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani

Sitges Encounters features conversations with the leading figures of genre cinema taking part in this edition of the festival.

Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani are one of the most distinctive and unclassifiable creative duos in contemporary genre cinema. Their work is defined by sensory aesthetics, narrative experimentation, and a bold reimagining of Italian giallo, forging a unique cinematic language that oscillates between homage and reinvention. Films such as Amer, The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears, and Let the Corpses Tan are immersive experiences where sound, texture, and color weave hypnotic and radical worlds. Always daring and fascinating, their cinema challenges classical storytelling conventions, plunging audiences into a journey that is at once visceral and poetic. 

Participants:Hélène Cattet andBruno Forzani, filmmakers; Mònica García i Massagué, General Manager of the SIFFFC Foundation; Ángel Sala, Artistic Director of SIFFFC and Manlio Gomarasca, filmmaker.
