Launched in 2023, Third Horizon Forward is an initiative created for filmmakers working out of Miami who trace their lineage to the Caribbean, to interrogate and explore the culture, character, spirit, people, and legacy of the region through film. Through this program, we are interested in supporting short films with an authentic, enduring and vital connection to the region Third Horizon calls home.Applications are now closed.
