The festival accords the Delhi denizens a rare opportunity to watch the PSBT's documentaries which earlier have been shown and applauded in festivals in the world over at places ranging from Oberhausean to Estonia and from Kerala to New York.

Films slated to be screened ‘focus on the narratives of and by the women, foregrounding their experiences and embodying a wide range of issues that require their critical examination,’ say organisers. Credited with making over 540 independent films and screening them in 660 global film festivals, winning 170 awards, including 37 National Awards, besides wide-ranging critical acclaim. 

The films address, examine, present and celebrate woman's lives, struggle, solidarities and movements. Film lovers don’t miss this one.  pti
