Following are the subjects on which you may submit your short film or you have choice to choose your own subject, apart from below mentioned subjects: 

1. Counsellors’ Magic

They are the most critical link in the process of organ donation yet are never in the limelight. Can you weave a film that draws the curtains and applauds their untiring resolve? Will your film give these unsung heroes the stage that the world needs to see?

2. Brain-dead Condition

There is a difference between coma, brain death, and natural death. Can your film give a clear illustration of what brain death is? Does your film have the creative streak to explain this technicality?  

3. Cops in Action

When it comes to organ donation, they may as well have the Mission Impossible theme playing in the background. Do you have a film that will show the audience the responsibilities and impeccable execution the police force shoulders?

4. Second Innings

It is human tendency to acknowledge something only when it is on the brink of loss. Can you spin a film that talks about a recipient’s perspective on the concept of organ donation?

5. Angels

Their parting message to humanity was – ‘At least at last donate’. Do you have the skills to create a film that reveals the hard reality a donor family is put in and how it fights it out to emerge stronger?

6. Hospital’s Story

Not only superheroes wear capes. Some wear gloves and a surgical mask. Can you make a film that shines the light on the humongous tasks that doctors carry out every single time?

7. The Media Story

History is not only created but also written and reported. Do you think you can make a film that highlights the media’s positive role in the process of organ donation?
