The AFI Conservatory Visual Essay Showcase celebrates three-minute shorts from the 2023 Cinematography graduates, all shot on motion picture film. The 35mm Visual Essay challenges Fellows to create a narrative through images, and without dialogue. The productions feature the participation of Directing, Editing, Producing, Production Design and Screenwriting Fellows, with Cinematography Fellows serving as lead producers.
