- GRAND TOUR OF UNESCO SITES
«Periferias» International Film Festival»
The avant-garde has moved to the border. *Periferias* is the creative cry that transforms the Tajo Internacional into the freest, most authentic and magnetic venue on the map.
Who needs the red carpet at Cannes when you can watch arthouse films under a sky with more stars than the whole of Hollywood? Come on, show a bit of class! In our beloved Raya The event takes place every year «Periferias» International Film Festival», and just a heads-up: this isn’t your typical night out with popcorn and cinemas with the air conditioning set to -10 ºC. Here, the magic happens in August and in situations such as the Valencia de Alcántara Fortress or Marvão Castle, now in Portuguese territory.
Just imagine what a brilliant plan this is: the fresh air of the dehesa, granite walls and a screen that stirs your soul with stories about human rights, the environment and culture whilst hopping from one country to another without leaving your chair.
Between open-air screenings and the allure of stone, you’ll discover that the outskirts are, in fact, the centre of the world.
