The Peripheral Visions Festival is a pioneering and unique project in Brazil that expands the spectrum of perspectives on Brazilian peripheral spaces through film screenings and a project development laboratory. The 19th edition will be held in 2026, from March 3rd to 8th, 2026.
The theme and concept of the Peripheral Visions Festival are reflected in its very name. Each year, the Visões program seeks to reflect the aesthetic power and diversity present in Brazilian peripheral areas through the eyes of filmmakers who experience the daily lives of these geographic, social, and existential territories. These qualities are fostered both in the curation of the film screenings and in parallel activities, most notably the Visões Lab, an audiovisual project development laboratory.
