Overview

The love story between José Mojica Marins and the Sitges Film Festival dates back to 1972, when, during its fifth edition, the Catalan Festival screened This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse. It was in 1978 that the Brazilian actor and director attended the Festival for the first time. He would return later in 1997 and 2008, by then firmly established as a key figure in the global horror film scene. This documentary chronicles Marins’ visits to the Festival through images and documents.
