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

Siamo un festival che promuove con forza il cinema sociale indipendente, quel cinema che racconta storie di persone, luoghi, condizioni e situazioni comuni alla maggior parte dell'umanità. In altre parole, storie di carne e sangue, sensibili e vere.
D'altra parte, siamo convinti che il cinema sia lo strumento più importante di trasformazione sociale e culturale del mondo; e che i festival siano mezzi alternativi e vetrine espositive, la cui funzione specifica è l'interazione dinamica con il pubblico target, al fine di raggiungere livelli di profonda consapevolezza per quegli spettatori.
Pertanto, vogliamo presentarci a voi, registi, in modo formale e onesto, fingendo di essere considerati un ponte tra chi vede, interpreta e plasma la realtà in modo diverso e gli abitanti della nostra regione; una regione situata in Colombia, che ha urgente bisogno di ascoltare messaggi di social e speranza culturale attraverso l'arte, al fine di raggiungere la pace interiore e cambiamenti radicali nella loro vita.
