A filmmaker talkback will follow the screenings, concluding with a celebratory reception that brings together the student and emerging filmmakers.The session is part of March On!’s Student & Emerging Filmmaker Competition, now celebrating ten years of cultivating the storytellers shaping tomorrow’s civil rights movement. Hosted by Emmy-winning producer Opal Hope Bennett, the competition is adjudicated by accomplished film and humanities professionals. March On! provides finalists with mentorship, constructive feedback, and public platforms that offer meaningful career exposure. New this year, the Grand Prize–winning filmmaker will receive technical assistance to develop a social-impact campaign—helping turn powerful storytelling into real-world action.Location: Howard Unversity School of Education: Myrtilla Miner Building Auditorium, 2565 Georgia Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001 (Entrance on 6th St NW)Partner: Ronald W.
