The Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT) annually hosts the Open Frame film festival and forum, dedicated to fostering a meaningful discourse on contemporary issues through the exploration of documentary films from India and around the world. As a not-for-profit trust, PSBT commissions independent documentary filmmakers nationwide, resulting in over 700 films covering diverse themes such as gender, democracy, labor, diversity, livelihood, human rights, and conflict.[3]
