PSBT is looking for in-depth, incisive films of intellectual vigor that will explore the work of individuals and/or the unfolding of projects,initiatives and process that will inspire and help guide audiences to realize their individual and collective potential to make a real difference. We intend for the films to be both inspirational and implicitly educational, each looking at the work of a single individual and/or set of ideas. They will need to be structured and focused to explore the problems and predicaments that were sought to be addressed -the qualities of leadership and the techniques, processes and structures that were used to triumph over them. They will need to consider the aspects that have ensured their sustainability even as they continue to evolve. We hope the films will empower audiences to embrace the possibilities and rewards from passions that reach beyond the self to make an enduring, significant and positive impact on others.

We are looking for approaches to the films that will rise above dull,pedantic narratives and mere documentation. Film Makers will need to use the elements of the documentary film genre to create visually exciting and emotionally catalyzing work.

The films are being produced by PSBT out of our partnership with the Dept.of Personnel & Administrative Reforms of the Govt. of India. The films will be independently commissioned and designed to stand-alone for screening on our slot on Doordarshan. We will separately, at our own initiative, completely apart from the film maker and his film,subsequently commission and publish a book of essays on the themes/projects /individuals of the films and video-tape half hour interviews with the principle protagonists. These will then form a package of educational and motivational materials to promote and inspire innovation,imagination and commitment in the process and practice of good management.

We will, in addition consider any exceptional ideas and proposals, and invite suggestions for future cycles of films.

PSBT will support only single half-hour documentary films. In evaluating proposals we are sensitive to regional and gender representation.
