Peter Jackson received Sitges’ Grand Honorary Award during the festival’s first weekend, alongside a screening of Braindead in a 4K restoration. The festival’s October 11 report records Jackson’s appearance at the Zombie Walk with effects veteran Rick Baker. Braindead actor Diana Peñalver joined the director for the

celebration, with artistic director Ángel Sala recalling the film’s 1992 festival visit. Jackson’s return connected that early splatter-comedy history with his later fantasy filmmaking. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick also accepted Grand Honorary Awards after presenting Family Movie with Travis Bacon. Their horror comedy

follows filmmakers trying to keep a low-budget shoot alive after a corpse appears on set. Read the official source. Image: Sitges Film Festival; official Peter Jackson, Diana Peñalver and Ángel Sala photograph.
