电影节的主要主题与其举办地完美重合的情况有多少？「超越边界纪录片节」（Beyond Borders Documentary Festival）便是如此，该节设在卡斯泰洛里佐岛（Kastellorizo），这是十二群岛中远离希腊本土、最贴近土耳其、紧邻安纳托利亚海岸的岛屿。卡斯泰洛里佐岛有着极为复杂的外族统治历史，从中世纪医院骑士团的占领到长期的奥斯曼统治，还有埃及、西班牙、法国、意大利和英国的控制。该岛于 1947 年通过《巴黎和平条约》正式割让给希腊，其历史中的意大利篇章在加布里埃尔·萨尔瓦托雷斯执导的影片《地中海》（Mediterraneo）中有所呈现，该片获得 1991 年奥斯卡最佳外语片奖。
How often do a film festival’s main theme and its location perfectly coincide? It is certainly the case with the Beyond Borders Documentary Festival , which is set in Kastellorizo, the Dodecanese island farthest from its Greek homeland and closest to Turkey, right off the Anatolian coast. Kastellorizo has a very complex history of foreign domination, from the Medieval occupation by the Knights Hospitaller to the long-term Ottoman rule, as well as Egyptian, Spanish, French, Italian, and British control. The island was officially ceded to Greece via the Paris Peace Treaties in 1947, and the Italian part of its past is featured in Gabriele Salvatores’ film Mediterraneo , which won the Oscar in 1991 for Best Foreign Language Film.
