FRED WILLIAMSON
North American actor, director and producer. He came to fame (and got his nickname, ‘The Hammer’) as a football player for the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs. His film career began with the television series ‘Julia’ and the movie MASH (Robert Altman, 1970). Black Caesar (73), Hell Up in Harlem (73) and Three the Hard Way (74) made him one of the best known action movie stars and he became a popular face in 1970 and 80’s Italian productions. Owner of Po’Boy Productions, we have been able to see him more recently in From Dusk Till Dawn (96) and Starsky & Hutch (04).
MARINA ANNA EICH
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany), 1976. Actress, producer, and press agent. She studied dance at the Leipzig Opera’s Dance Academy and since the year 2000 she is in charge of marketing, distribution and international sales for the ‘wtp International’ production company. Her career as an actress began in 1994 and in 2000, after participating in the short film Zwang, she went on to become the muse of Roland Reber, filmmaker with which she worked in films like: The Room (2001), Pentamagica (2003), 24/7 The Passion of Life (2005) and My Dream or Loneliness Never Walks Alone (2007)
ÀLEX GORINA
Barcelona, 1952. Sitges Film Festival Director for five years. He has been a film critic for Fotogramas, Catalunya Cultura, Catalunya Música and Guía del Ocio. He has done a great deal of his work at Catalunya Radio with programs like the broadcasting of the Hollywood Academy Awards (since 1984) or, especially La Finestra Indiscreta. He is the author of L’arxiu Secret d’Augustus Bloom (The Secret File of Augustus Bloom) and John Huston També Era Dona (John Huton was a Woman Too), was the host for the television shows Klaatu Barada Nikto and Nous Clàssics for C33 and TV3 and movie commentator on Jaume Figueras’s Cinema 3, among other programs.
UMBERTO LENZI
Director, writer and screenwriter. Prolific like few others, the Italian filmmaker’s movie career would allow for writing an entire encyclopedia of B Movies. From adventure to war movies, from westerns to pepla and his outstanding incursions into detective movies, no genre seems to have escaped from a filmography that, of course, delved forcefully into the fantastique and offered us cult films like: Kriminal (66), Orgasm (68), Seven Blood-Stained Orchids (72), Spasmo (74), Eaten Alive! (80), Cannibal Ferox (81) and City of the Walking Dead (80).
DAVID PIRIE
British film critic, screenwriter and author. Outstanding among his novels is the acclaimed series starring a young Arthur Conan Doyle that he developed in The Patient’s Eyes, The Night Calls and The Dark Water. He is also the author of brilliant essays on the movie world like The Vampire Cinema and A New Heritage of Horror: The English Gothic Cinema. As a screenwriter he has been nominated for a BAFTA Award for his adaptation of The Woman in White (77), has worked on diverse television productions and collaborated on the films Element of Doubt (Christopher Morahan, 96) and Breaking the Waves (Lars Von Trier, 96).

Tributes
STANLEY KUBRICK Gran Premi Honorífic Sitges-Festival Internacional Cinema de Catalunya

1928-1999
The History of the Seventh Art has produced few filmmakers that we can unpatronizingly call true geniuses. Stanley Kubrick was one of them, in every sense of the word and with all its consequences. Meticulous, visionary and tenacious like few others, Kubrick left behind a work for posterity where it would be difficult to find a single lackluster segment or one that hasn’t become a milestone in whatever genre he touched. The American Film Institute continues to consider 2001: A Space Odyssey to be the best science fiction movie in history and places it in 15th place on its Top 100 list. You don’t have to believe them, his ‘ultimate trip’ has been, is, and will be a compulsory journey for generations and generations of spectators until the monolith finally tells us its secret and we happily become one with the stars. Movie science fiction would never have been the same without this infinite work and Sitges’08 celebrates its fortieth anniversary by offering him the Honorary Grand Prize, a humble token of our affection.
Christiane Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick’s widow, will receive the award.
LINDA HARRISON Maria Honorífica Award
Immortalized thanks to her interpretation of Nova in the first two parts of Planet of the Apes (1968 and 1970) where, barely uttering a word, she became the icon of an entire era, Linda Harrison began her career as a model. After appearing in a few episodes of the series Batman, she took the leap to the big screen with comedies like Way... Way Out (1966) or A Guide for the Married Man (1967). After a few sabbatical years she returned to film with Airport 1975 (1974) listed as Augusta Summerland and once again alongside Charlton Heston. Later came the two parts of Cocoon (1985 and 1988), Wild Bill (1995) and, of course, a cameo in Tim Burton’s version of Planet of the Apes (2001).
OSÉ ANTONIO PÉREZ GINER Màquina del Temps Award
Producer. He began his activities in Madrid as a production assistant and later has produced over seventy films and other telemovies and series for television. He was the founder of Profilmes (the “Spanish Hammer”), Prozesa, Lola Films and Opalo Films, and also co-founder of Figaró Films and the Catalan Film Institute (ICC). In 1996 and 1997 he was production coordinator for the Filmax Group and is currently a shareholder and executive producer at the Els Quatre Gats Audiovisuals, S.L, and Plot Films production companies. His film career has won him numerous awards and in 2004 he received a tribute from the Catalonian Film Library.
LUIS MIÑARRO Maria Honorífica Award

Barcelona, 1949. Since 1995 Luis Miñarro’s hallmark, through his production company Eddie Saeta, has marked a large part of Spanish auteur cinema with films like Things I Never Told You (Isabel Coixet, 96), Where is Madame Catherine (Marc Recha, 03), In the City of Sylvia (José Luís Guerín, 07) or Liverpool (Lisandro Alonso, 08), which he has presented at festivals like Cannes, Locarno, Berlin or Venice. His knowledge of cinema lead him to write during a period of time for magazines like Destino or Dirigido Por and found the Arts i Mirador film forum. Birdsong by Albert Serra (08), presented at this year’s edition, is a perfect example of his idea of daring, politically committed cinema.
CHARLIE KAUFMAN Màquina del Temps Award

Screenwriter with a brilliant career, his first steps in film are intrinsically linked to the big leap from video clips to cinema taken by Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze. For the first he wrote Human Nature (2001) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004); for the second, Being John Malkovich (1999) and Adaptation (2002), where he doesn’t hesitate to question the orthodox canons of the movie screenplay and Robert McKee’s guidelines. He has worked in television and theater, where he created two sound-only pieces with Carter Burwell and the Coen Brother. Obsessed with creative processes and metalanguage, he has given expression to both these subjects in his directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York (2008).
NICHOLAS MEYER Màquina del Temps Award
Director and writer. Decanting between cinema and literature has been present since the beginning of his career: his first novel ‘The Love Story Story’ is based on his experience during the filming of Love Story (1970). Outstanding among his books is ‘The Seven Percent Solution’, from which he wrote the screenplay himself, and ‘The West-End’. He debuted as a director with Time After Time (1979) and moved around the field of science fiction with sequels two and four of Star Trek (1982 and 1991). As a screenwriter, he did outstanding adaptations of two novels by Philip Roth: The Human Stain (2003) and Elegy (2008).
ABEL FERRARA Màquina del Temps Award
The visceral quality of a film corpus that seems to have been born of vital necessity, a privacy that encourages rumors and a constant subject matter populated with characters that move along the edge of the abyss in search of an elusive rendition, have made Abel Ferrara one of the most unique and necessary filmmakers in North American cinema. Much less passionate about the lights than the penumbras of his eternal leading character, the Big Apple, for a long time now his career has been that of an acclaimed filmmaker who has managed to move back and forth between independence and the big studios without giving up an unquestionable freedom. Ferrara traveled the streets of New York, camera in hand, and has wound up paying tribute to one of its most emblematic buildings, the Chelsea Hotel. The shock is over but the filmmaker remains.
JOHN CARPENTER Màquina del Temps Award
It is said that he is frugal in words and humble in acknowledgements, but during his thirty four year career he has shared with us his phobias, his philias, his respect for the greats of the Seventh Art and his extreme passion for film genres. His predilection for fantasy and horror (often masking another of his great passions, the western) and, above all, his way of treating them have guaranteed him a place of honor in the fantasy film Olympus and from Dark Star (1974) to Pro-Life, the second gift he gave us in the Masters of Horror series (2007), on very rare occasions have we not welcomed a new work of his with the same joy that comes from receiving a letter from and old and dear friend. We are impatiently awaiting a new, B movie missive, headed with his first and last name.
LLOYD KAUFMAN Màquina del Temps Award

In the mid-eighties, a movie starring a green, radioactive mutant wielding a mop as a weapon of mass destruction became the first big hit from an independent production company in New York that wouldn’t take long to create its very own universe that was as eye-catching and zany as its creature’s. Thirty four years later, the Troma production company is still hard at it with over five hundred titles in their catalogue and Lloyd Kaufman, its co-founder along with his partner and friend Michael Herz, continues to be the plenipotentiary Tromatic ambassador. Sitges’08 can’t give up to opportunity to pay tribute to this restless filmmaker and producer, heir to Roger Corman’s independent tradition and the great William Castle’s sense of show.

El cine de ciencia-ficción. Explorando mundos

El cine de ciencia-ficción. Explorando mundos (Science Fiction Movies. Exploring Worlds) is an approach to this genre characterized by its diversity of subjects and motifs, by the disparity of its philosophic and/or aesthetic reflections, by its wide variety of textures, of tones and of styles when arguing each exposition. This way the science-fiction fan can get a comprehensive, heterodox idea of what science-fiction cinema is and of how it operates on different plastic, psychological, social and mythological levels. But above all, El cine de ciencia-ficción. Explorando mundos is an essay that doesn’t renounce the pleasure principle as one of the essential foundations to develop any form of artistic expression. Science fiction cinema is culture, but also show; it is abstraction, speculation, confusion, and at the same time, excitement, fantasy, beauty.
Among the diverse texts that make up El cine de ciencia-ficción. Explorando mundos it is important to highlight the essays by classics like Susan Sontag, J.G. Ballard, Gérard Lenne, José María Latorre and John Moffit, as well as works written specifically for this book by Jesús Palacios, Jorge Gorostiza, Quim Casas, Pilar Pedraza, Tomás Fernández Valentí, Tonio L. Alarcon, Susanna Farré, Roberto Curti, Ramón Freixas and Joan Bassa, Antonio José Navarro and Ángel Sala.
El cine de ciencia-ficción. Explorando mundos, is published by Editorial Valdemar, in collaboration with the Sitges-International Film Festival of Catalonia and FANZINE (18th Fantasy Film Festival – Malaga University).
King Kong. 75 años después

This year is the 75th anniversary of the premiere of King Kong on March 2nd, 1933 in New York City. With the book King Kong, 75 años después (King Kong, 75 Years Later), its authors cover all the mythological and film-related aspects of this character all throughout his existence, dealing in depth with his cultural and social, political and psychological roots. King Kong, 75 años después carefully tackles each of the canonical films, giving the details of their production circumstances and the critical acceptance they had at the time. And, of course, it includes a brief run-through of this subject´s considerable exploit production, an aspect of the King Kong myth that had barely been dealt with until now. A myth whose popularity goes even beyond its movie realms, as proven by the enormous amount of comics, commercials, merchandising, quotes and television tributes.
King Kong, 75 años después includes texts by Román Gubern, Tomás Fernández Valentí, Ramón Freixas & Joan Bassa, Antonio José Navarro and Ángel Sala. It is a result of a co-publication from Valdemar Publishing Co. and the International Film Festival of Catalonia.
