We speak with Nandita Das, the acclaimed filmmaker and actor and former Cannes Film Festival jury member. Celebrated for her path breaking roles and directorial ventures in films, Das has allowed her films to be a voice to speak out about issues that matter. 

Whether it be the National Film Award-winning film Firaaq or the critically-acclaimed film Manto about the life of the outspoken short story writer, Saadat Hasan Manto, Das consistently shows how historical social flaws reflect our living reality today. Beyond her feature films, Das has led social justice campaigns too. 

We speak to her about her journey into the Indian film industry, the seamless union of filmmaking and activism, and how self-reflection drives her to create more meaningful content.
