Bittersweet, directed by Ananth Narayan Mahadevan and Produced by Quest Films Pvt Ltd, is an official selection at the prestigious Busan International Film Festival where it is also nominated for the Jiseok Awards, which makes it a World Premiere to look forward to!
Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, on the nomination, said, “It is indeed a great honour to be recognized at a top A-lister festival like the Busan International Film Festival, the biggest and most prestigious in the Asian continent. The concerted efforts to make a film that meets the standards of global cinema has borne fruit for my producers Suchhanda and Shubha Shetty and is a great shot-in-the-arm for us aiming to break the clutter.”
About his film, Anant says, “Bittersweet is an incisive look at human rights and the fight for survival in an extraordinary environment that is a dead-end for women sugarcane cutters.
It resonates in a universal context with its theme of human exploitation at the cost of scruples and an ecosystem upheaval in the future.”
