Slated to last till September 21, the PSBT film festival, aptly rechristened Open Frame International Film Festival will be held at the India International Centre here with an active collaboration by the latter in conducting it.

The films slated to be screened in the PSBT's 13th Open Frame festival "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 the organisers.

"The films focus on women's narratives also in the light of renewed public discourse on violence against them.
