The Challenge invited films – less than 10 minutes in length, fiction and nonfiction – under two categories: Professional and Amateur.
The Challenge received a huge response – a total of 766 entries.
It was quite a daunting task to go through all the entries – but we were helped by a competent Selection Committee – Anandana Kapur, Hemant Gaba, Pooja Iyengar and Subasri Krishnan.
A long list was then sent to the Jury, consisting of Anjali Monteiro, Bina Paul and Sudhir Tandon.
On March 28th, 2021 we announced the results, bringing a unique PSBT endeavour to an end.
26 awards were given out – of which 8 were supported by FUR.
A shortlist of 25 was also created – to submit nonfiction film proposals to PSBT for up to two filmmaking grants.
