The Villamayor de Cine European Short Film Festival was born in 2008 in the charming village of Villamayor de Santiago, located in the province of Cuenca. Its main mission from the beginning has been to create a space where short films take center stage and young directors have a chance to shine.
Every August, the festival comes to life through the dedication of a team of over forty young professionals. Under the guidance of its founder, Javier Alonso, they work tirelessly to bring the best of European short cinema to Villamayor de Santiago.
Renowned Spanish actor Jesús Guzmán served as the festival’s Honorary President until his passing in 2023. In his memory, the award for Best Fiction Short Film now bears his name, keeping his legacy alive in the film world.
The festival is hosted by acclaimed actor and presenter Luis Mottola, whose professionalism and charisma add great value to the event. Mottola holds a special affection for Villamayor, and the town, in turn, holds him in high regard. @luismottola

„... so eine tolle Stadt und ein wunderbares Festival, so einladend. Es war so inspirierend, so viele junge und talentierte Filmemacher zu sein.
-Finn Taylor, Regisseur Unleashed & 3 Time Director Sundance Film Festival
„Ich kann nicht genug darüber sagen, wie wunderbar SBE Hamilton International Film Festival war. Es ist wirklich eine Ehre, unseren Film „My Hero“ enthalten zu haben und ich möchte Grant & Todd Slater und allen Beteiligten für eine so tolle Erfahrung danken. Einfach unglaublich.
Wir hoffen, dass Sie uns nächstes Jahr wieder haben!“
- Loring Murtha, Schauspieler/Regisseur My Held
„Das Hamilton International Film Festival von SBE bietet eine unglaubliche Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen ambitionierten Filmemachern zu vernetzen, Ideen und Fundraising-Strategien auszutauschen und gleichzeitig den Charme von Hamilton, New York, zu erleben. Das Hamilton Theater ist ein wunderschöner Veranstaltungsort und Grant Slater hat ein 5-Sterne-Festival mit einer großen Auswahl an Filmen, Speisen und lokalen Bieren zusammengestellt. Dies ist ein Muss, das seinen Filmemachern mehr bietet als nur leichtfertige Lorbeeren... Man könnte sagen, dass Sie Hamilton mit einer neuen Gruppe von Freunden verlassen, die eine andere Perspektive auf das Drehen und Ansehen von Filmen bieten!“
-D.J. Higgins Regisseur, Schriftsteller/Produzent Meet Mario
„Der Charme und die Intimität des Hamilton International Film Festival machen es zu einem MUSS für alle Filmemacher. Grant und Todd Slater und die gesamte Hamilton-Community könnten nicht gastfreundlicher sein. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, einen weiteren Film zu machen, nur damit ich zurückkommen kann!! „
-Doug Dearth, Produzent/Regisseur Underdogs
„Es war eine absolute Ehre, Teil eines so angesehenen Filmfestivals zu sein. Dank der Hilfe, der harten Arbeit und dem Engagement von SBE ist meine Karriere in Großbritannien von Stärke zu Stärke gegangen. My Single, Worry traf die iTunes Download-Karte und erreichte Platz 6. Der Folgetrack, den ich kürzlich veröffentlicht habe, hat die virale UK Top 50 auf Spotify getroffen und wir haben jetzt eine European Tour zusammen gestellt. Sein Dank an Leute wie Grant, die von einem frühen Stadium meiner Entwicklung an mich glauben, hat mir geholfen, dorthin zu kommen, wo ich jetzt bin.“
