These days has come to the fore the sad news that the Office of Barcelona has opened proceedings against my colleague and friend for twenty years Angel Sala, director of the Sitges Festival - Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, upon being declared admissible a complaint with the Magistrate's Court No.. 8 Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), for scheduling in that event last October, the film A Serbian Film , Srdjan Spasojevic, on charges of unlawful dissemination of pornographic material. In this situation, I can not but express my disgust for a society that is becoming the "political correctness" and the supposed protection of morals and ethics largely accepted in a poorly disguised and blatant censorship. Convinced as I am that freedom of expression is no longer the basis of democracy, but the cradle of the human spirit itself, I can only add my voice from this small space, particularly in defense of Angel Chamber and the Festival of Sitges, and request all those who so wish to join over the Internet to show No to censorship - In defense of the Festival of Sitges and its director through this link:
