International Festival takes a grip on the southern most part of Europe.
Together with the team we visit the old and the new, work and leisure, urban as well as the rural.

The harbor has for centuries been central to the city of Tarifa. International Festival brings details to our knowledge of the last frontier of Europe. In Tarifa, the port to Africa, we also meet a strong religious tradition. International Festival brings back the church as a place of meeting and being together, something the church originally shared with our life in parks.

The "Fadaiat Ship-to-Shore" project aims to physically explore on a sailing boat the migration routes between Morocco, and Spain. It will test civil society counter-surveillance technologies developed on the shore by the teams of Fadaiat// Borderline Academy.

The Swedish artists duo Mårten Spångberg (choreographer, Brussels) and Tor Lindstrand (architect, Stockholm) present their project "International Festival" on June 20th, at the Borderline Academy in Tarifa (ES).: "International Festival propose an alternative mode of production, which deterritorialise notions of commodity and spectacle, not in leaving choreography and becoming something else, nor by commenting directly on current notions of dance and theatre.

A round table talk on borders, migration and freedom of movement with an emphasis on the situation in the Straits of Gibraltar -- featuring the local activists Helena Maleno and Nieves Garcia Benito as well as the migration researcher Sandro Mezzadra from Bologna. The presentations have been recorded at the Borderline Academy in Tarifa, at June 19th, 2005.

Yesterday I acted as one of the volonteers translators at the presentation of the collective work presented by Indimedia Straits/Estrecho and some people working here supporting inmigrants passing to Europe.
Nieves Garcia Benito talked about how the Strait is now closely monitored by surveillance devices and the control is imposed on the air, on the water and below the water.
