Actor-director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan's Marathi film, Bittersweet, will premiere at the Busan Film Festival 2020 in South Korea next month. An official selection, it is also nominated for the Jiseok Awards. "The film provides an incisive look at human rights and the fight for survival in an environment that is a dead-end for women sugarcane cutters," says Mahadevan.

Bittersweet will also have its world premiere at the festival, and is among seven Indian films at a toned-down festival this year, to be held from October 21 to 30.
