The Third Horizon: A Film Triptych explores speculative futures through ritual, movement, and myth. Where the body, music, and ecology converge across time.

Bringing together Kordae Jatafa Henry's Makara, Earth Mother, Sky Father, and IF NOT NOW (excerpt), the program unfolds as a form of spiritual cinema, where animation, performance, and sound operate as systems of transmission.

Spanning past, present, and future temporalities, the works examine the body as a site of spirit, memory, and transformation. Through choreography, visual effects, and sound, each film reimagines relationships between the Anthropocene, infrastructure, and Black virtuosity.

A conversation reflecting on Henry’s process will follow the screening.

This program is presented with special thanks to Moun Soussan.

A sonic-visual invocation that blurs the line between body and machine, Makara imagines a future where technology is integrated into ritual and ancestral performance. Drawing from mythology and global supply chains, the film repositions Black embodiment as a site of technological agency and transformation.

A speculative cosmology set in a near-future Congo, where rare earth extraction is reimagined as ritual practice. Through choreography and VFX, the film explores lineage, ecology, and infrastructure as interconnected systems of cultural and spiritual value.

A work-in-progress excerpt from a larger film, IF NOT NOW follows a father and son as they use a spiritual technology called Livity to transcend time. Blending movement, myth, and VFX, the film explores extinction, memory, and survival within a speculative Afro-Caribbean future.
