"SBE’s Hamilton International Film Festival presents an incredible opportunity to network with other ambitious filmmakers, exchange ideas and fundraising strategies while experiencing the charm of Hamilton, New York. The Hamilton Theater is a gorgeous venue and Grant Slater has put together a 5 star festival with a great selection of film, food and local beers.

"It was an absolute honour to be part of such a well respected film festival. Thanks to the help, hard work and commitment from SBE my career in the UK has gone from strength to strength. My Single, Worry hit the iTunes Download chart and peaked at Number 6. The follow up track I've recently released has hit the viral UK Top 50 on Spotify and we have now put a European Tour together. Its thanks to people such as Grant believing in me from an early stage of my development that has helped me get to where I am now."
Since its inception, the "Festival of cinema unusual de Buenos Aires" has proposed to investigate the least explored aspects of the current film production in order to meet the expectations of those who yearn for a different filmic vision. A target to meet is to facilitate the knowledge of many new authors who, fleeing the current stereotype, offer an eclectic perspective from the thematic and visual.
From 19 to 29 October 2017, we carry out the Thirteenth Edition in important offices of the autonomous city of Buenos Aires. Of a competitive nature, it has a duration of 11 days and us sponsored by important institutional bodies. Also, carry out promotional, permanent monthly activities of the Festival: lights/signs and participations in film markets.
