National Award-winning director Aparna Sen’s feature film The Rapist has bagged the prestigious Kim Jiseok Award at the Busan International Film Festival. The film, starring Konkona Sen Sharma, Arjun Rampal and Tanmay Dhanania, recently had its world premiere at the festival as part of the ‘A Window on Asian Cinema’ section.

For the award, established in respectful memory of the late programme director Kim Jiseok in 2017, The Rapist was pitted against six other feature films, including Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer No Land’s Man.

Sen said she felt “deeply humbled, grateful and overwhelmed” after her directorial venture won the award. “This award has a special significance for me because I was in Busan as a jury member many years ago and I had the honour of meeting Mr Kim in person. — PTI
