Initiatives associated with the Open Frame Festival
1. PSBT Travelling Festivals/Open Frame prime time on Doordashan:
The Public Service Broadcasting Trust is a non-for-profit initiative that represents the coming together of energies to shape the contours of Public Broadcasting in India in a manner that values the public nature of the media in society. PSBT, in partnership with Prasar Bharati Corporation (the national Broadcaster in India), commissions independent filmmakers to produce quality documentaries and public service programmes on its hour-long prime time slot each week, with a potential reach of about 100 million television homes.
If selected for the Forum and upon your agreement (please see relevant question on registration form and tick as appropriate) PSBT may include your film in its travelling festival of films and air this as part of its screening programme on national public television in India, The Open Frame, on a non commercial basis.
2. UNESCO’s Audio-visual E-platform:
If selected, and upon your agreement (please see relevant question on registration form), your production may be invited to join UNESCO’s Audio-visual e-platform (http://creativecontent.unesco.org), a highly secured, restricted to professional use, on-line platform showcasing innovative productions from more than 80 countries. UNESCO will then create your own catalogue on the e-platform allowing you to promote your work at local, regional and international levels.
