Year of the Horse
About this Event
At a time when the world demands action and intention, the Year of the Horse arrives as a symbol of transformation and rebirth. It reminds us of the fire within ourselves, the strength that carries us forward through uncertainty and into renewal. This five-part film series was born from that energy. Each film embodies a different facet of the Fire Horse spirit, revealing stories of courage, resilience, boldness, and the unwavering pursuit of a brighter future ahead. - Karla Villeagas, FPC Member
