Third Horizon curates a new Cinelogue program exploring decolonial cinema and liberatory imagination from the Caribbean

Previously selected for the annual Third Horizon Film Festival it includes features and shorts, fiction films and documentaries, with a particular focus on creative nonfiction. In this intersection of the real and the imagined, Caribbean filmmakers cultivate a cinematic language rooted in collective creation to make decolonial cinema, invested in the ultimate goal of liberation, in the belief a better world is possible.

The selection brings together Trinidadian artist and performer Oba, whose collaboration with Adam Khalil, a member of the Ojibway tribe, and Brookly based filmmaker Bayley Sweitzer reimagines the colonial encounter through a surreal, vampiric lens; Suriname theatre director Tolin Alexander and Dutch duo Lonnie van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan’s Stone Have Laws is rooted in the land and spiritual practices of the Maroon communities of Suriname; Cuban filmmaker Dami Saínz brings a queer, Afro-cuban perspective to the screen, and The Living; and the Dead Ensemble, a collective of Haitian, French, and British artists summon the ghosts of the Haitian Revolution to envision new forms of collective storytelling.

Third Horizon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting cinema and filmmakers from the Caribbean, its diaspora, and other marginalized and underrepresented spaces in the Global South.

Cinelogue is an online platform for film curation, global streaming, and critical dialogue, with a strong focus on the cinema of the Global Majority.

Eight additional films will be released through the program by December 2025.
