Don’t miss the annual Third Horizon Film Festival opening night celebration at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)! Partnering with PAMM’s Caribbean Cultural Institute (CCI), the Third Horizon Film Festival celebrates the exciting new wave of cinema and creativity emerging from fellow filmmakers across the Caribbean and its diaspora. The evening will feature the film Cette Maison by Miryam Charles and the party will continue into the evening on the terrace with global soul beats by DJ Sabine Blaizin.
About the Film Cette Maison Tessa, a teenage girl of Haitian descent, is found hanged in her room. While everything points to suicide, the autopsy report reveals something else. Ten years later, Tessa’s cousin, the filmmaker Miryam Charles, examines the past causes and future consequences of this unsolved crime. Like an imagined autobiography, Cette Maison gives voice to a young woman no longer able to speak for herself. Filmmaker Miryam Charles will be in attendance.
