The Maharashtra State and cultural Development Corporation is excited about the film’s screening at Cannes and anticipates an encouraging reception especially by Asian countries and worldwide international film festival selectors.
For producers Suchhanda Chatterjee and Shubha Shetty whose first film 'Bittersweet' is, this is a prestigious occasion. The film about the plight of women in the politics-ridden sugarcane industry, became a mission, more than a movie and that led them to their highly acclaimed debut production. For director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, this is the second consecutive year his film gets selected for the Marche Du Film. Last year it was Mai Ghat.
Director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan said, "The Maharashtra Government’s selection of 'Bittersweet' for the Cannes Marche Du film holds great significance as the film has been selected by a high profile jury. To be selected as the best to represent India in the world’s most important festival is indeed an honour. Especially when it comes in the wake of Mai Ghat being sent last year by the Information & Broadcasting, making it two years in a row."
