The Rencontres Cinématographiques de Cerbère take place in the Hotel Belvédère du Rayon-Vert, an emblematic location in cinema and surrealist architecture, located on the border between Catalonia and France, where every year a large group of independent film festivals get together, including L´Alternativa, Cinéma du Réel, Fid Marseille, and Cinemaginaire, each one with a film that represents them. Ignacio Agüero's El otro día, also chosen by Punto de Vista, won the Grand Prize at the 2014 edition.
