MIAMITIMESONLINE: Third Horizon, a Miami-based collective of filmmakers, has officially re-launched Anansi TV, an online site that houses a curated collection of films by Caribbean and diaspora artists.
The platform, which went live for global public access last week, builds on Third Horizon’s existing work through its annual film festival, aiming to support independent filmmakers and preserve culturally resonant cinema.
“These stories were never meant to pass through once and disappear — they were made to live on, to be returned to again and again. With the (re)launch of Anansi TV, we’re honored to be stewards of this collection and to offer a space where anyone, anywhere, can sit with the richness of Caribbean cinema,” said Romola Lucas, executive director of Third Horizon, in a press release.
The current Anansi TV collection includes both contemporary and retrospective works. Highlights include:
— Ouvertures, a non-fiction feature directed by The Living and the Dead Ensemble, which explores the legacy of Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture through performance and archival inquiry.
— The Sweetest Mango, a romantic comedy by Howard Allen, recognized as the first feature film from Antigua & Barbuda.

— Ca(r)milla, a mockumentary short by Kearra Amaya Gopee, centered on a Trinidadian vampire/landscaper who traffics Caribbean soil vital for vampiric survival.
— El Deseo de los Lobos el Rebaño del Señor (The Wolves’ Desire, The Lord’s Flock), a fiction short by Carlos García of the Dominican Republic, which tells the story of a woman who gains the power to perform miracles while enduring domestic abuse.
In addition to individual viewers, the platform also offers licensing options for educators, curators, and broadcasters. This expanded access is intended to support broader engagement with Caribbean cinema in educational and institutional contexts.
The relaunch of Anansi TV is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation through the Knight Art + Tech Expansion Grant.
