The 2011 Sitges Film Festival has concluded its competition portion and announced awards in more categories than we’ve seen at any other fest. The biggest winners are Kevin Smith’s Red State and Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block, but several other films we’ve been closely watching here on Dread scored victories as well, including Kill List, Livid, The Divide, The Woman, Bellflower, Hell, and Detention.
