Recalling Miami Motel Stories

Empathy Bullets: Caribbean Filmmakers and the Third Horizon Festival

Welcome to this episode of Miami Moves Me! Today we are covering the Third Horizon festival, one dedicated to uplifting and featuring Afro diasporic and Caribbean Filmmaking, dance, music, and other visual arts in Miami. In 2020 they are celebrating their third annual festival in Lil Haiti Cultural Complex in Lil Haiti. We saw a wonderful range of films and performances and got a chance to inter two upcoming filmmakers Diana Peralta of Del Lo Mio and Micheal Lees of Uncivilized. Their films were compassionate tales that give an intimate peek into Caribbean life and the diasporic experiences that break away from the mainstream. Please enjoy their motivations, passions, and struggles making their work that speak volumes at festivals like these!
Takeaways 

Home is where the heart is and usually for members of the Caribbean diaspora it can be a sea a part. 
Language transcends barriers yet enforce them at the same time, bonds like community and family ensure transmutation 
Caribbean Film making is unique across genres and stories. There are so many out there that mirror the diaspora’s diversity
Festivals like Third Horizon give an important platform for Caribbean artists
Island life is more than a tourist destination and stereotyped in to categories of “uncivilized” 
Family and community transcends country borders.
Please look out for next year’s film festival from Third Horizon Productions!
