As part of Howard University’s 2026 Research Month, the Howard Thesis Showcase on May 6, 2026, will spotlight the next generation of cinematic voices. The event features a curated selection of short films from graduating senior Film & TV majors and MFA candidates, showcasing the diverse artistic visions and narratives rooted in the DMV community. In support of these emerging filmmakers, FotoKem is proud to sponsor the “Visual Artistry Award.” The recipient for the top short film will be honored with a unique 70mm film strip featuring custom stills from their production—a tangible tribute to their craft and visual storytelling.
