For Sen, 75, the Kim Jiseok Award at the recent Busan International Film Festival holds special significance. She talks about being outspoken and why women don’t have to bear the burden of being virtuous all the time
You called winning the Kim Jiseok Award for The Rapist, at the recent Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), special.
Many years ago, when Donald Ritchie was the chairman, I was one of the jurors for this festival. At that time, I had met Kim Jiseok (the late South Korean co-founder of BIFF), who worked very hard to promote Asian movies. That’s why this award has a special significance for me. I am very happy for my team whose hard work has been recognised. In India, the movie will most likely release on an OTT platform after doing the festival rounds.
