• Name — Ángel Sala • Birth Name — Àngel Sala • Born — 1964 • Birthplace — Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain • Occupation — Writer, screenwriter and film critic Ángel Sala (born 1964) is the director of the Sitges Film Festival. A Serbian Film was banned by a court in San Sebastián, Spain for "threatening sexual freedom" and thus could not be shown in the XXI Semana de Cine Fantástico y de Terror (21st Horror and Fantasy Film Festival). The film was shown at an adults-only screening at the Spanish Sitges Film Festival during October 2010. As a result, the festival's director Ángel Sala was charged with exhibiting child pornography by the Spanish prosecutor who decided to take action in May 2011 after receiving a complaint from a Roman Catholic organization over a pair of scenes involving the rapes of a young child and a newborn.
