IndieFEST, currently in its 7th year, discovers and honors the achievements of filmmakers who produce high quality films and new media. Attracting both powerhouse industry veterans as well as talented new filmmakers, the IndieFEST is an exceptional, truly international awards competition, not a traditional film festival.

Serving filmmakers is IndieFEST’s primary goal:
IndieFEST strives to give talented directors, producers, actors, creative teams and new media creators the positive exposure and credibility they deserve. The IndieFEST promotes award winners through press releases to over 40,000 filmmakers and industry contacts as well as five additional global media/distribution outlets. We are currently developing a filmmaker representative program to assist with the distribution of award winning films and a joint venture with The GRID, a worldwide network for mobile devices – both coming in 2015.
Where our filmmakers are from:
The IndieFEST Film Awards is truly international in scope and has received projects from filmmakers in over 64 countries, they include Australia, Bahrain, Bali, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Malaysia, Malta, Martinique, New Zealand, Norway, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, the USA and more.

El Festival Europeo de Cortometrajes Villamayor de Cine nació en 2008 en el encantador pueblo de Villamayor de Santiago, ubicado en la provincia de Cuenca. Su objetivo principal ha sido desde el inicio ofrecer un espacio destacado al cortometraje y dar visibilidad al talento emergente de jóvenes directores.
Cada año, en el mes de agosto, el festival cobra vida gracias al esfuerzo de un equipo formado por más de cuarenta jóvenes profesionales. Bajo la dirección de su fundador, Javier Alonso, trabajan intensamente para llenar Villamayor de Santiago con lo mejor del cine corto europeo.
El prestigioso actor español Jesús Guzmán fue Presidente de Honor del festival hasta su fallecimiento en 2023. Como homenaje, el premio al mejor cortometraje de ficción lleva hoy su nombre, perpetuando así su memoria y su legado artístico.

“Cinestrange” is dedicated to the international film. Alongside entertainment, which is clearly in the focus, special attention is devoted to the genre cinema. . “Cinestrange” has taken on the task each year to uncover another facet in the rich range of genre cinema. Besides big premieres, new discoveries and fancy misfits who seek to provide the right mix of ambition and entertainment, it is one of the essential functions of “Cinestrange” to promote the rediscovery of forgotten genres, to put them in the context of a reassessment with public appeal and make them available to everyone.
The festival is a platform for showcasing the best films from around the world, as well as a platform of professional people that helps the growth and form the local film industry.
The festival has two major international competitions, non-competition program, and panorama of documentary films.
