On Saturday, a filmmaker made the bold move of naming and shaming a man who had sexually harassed her years ago — the same man who was now handing her an award at a film festival.

In a report in this newspaper yesterday, Adwaita Das, who wanted to be identified, said a short film at the festival had emboldened her to speak up. She said that when she was a student at the Film and Television Institute of India, she had been harassed by Nilanjan Datta, an associate professor of film editing there. She had lost the battle for justice then.
