The eighth annual Third Horizon Film Festival (THFF) returns to Miami, Florida from May 29th to June 1st, 2025, with additional virtual presentations for a global audience from June 2nd–8th. We invite you to join us for an unforgettable weekend of engagement with films by the Caribbean and its diaspora’s most cutting-edge moving-image artists.
Almost every year since 2016, THFF has gathered filmmakers, film lovers, and members of our community to experience the art of Caribbean and diaspora cinema through a rigorously curated program of films, visual art, performances, panels, and other related events.
As we continue to find ourselves in an era where a hegemonic establishment seeks to shore itself up to the misrepresentation and exploitation of minority communities in Florida and worldwide, never has it been more necessary to foreground independent filmmaking voices that are unafraid to do what cinema, at its resisting best, does so well: speak truth to power.
And so in curating this year’s THFF, we are making a determined effort, as we always do, to ensure our program reflects the idea of cinema as a socially and politically disruptive tool, both in terms of form and content.
We invite you to join us for an unforgettable weekend of engagement with films by the Caribbean and its diaspora’s most cutting-edge moving-image artists.
We believe in the power of cinema to shift, transform, and break through the many structural barriers that exist in the Caribbean, its diaspora, and the Global South. Since 2016, we have dedicated ourselves to uplifting urgent, provocative filmmaking, and we can’t do it without you. Your contribution will help us continue to build a platform for these films and support the many talented artists making them.
