WHERE'S SANDRA?
Director: Paromita Vohra
English (subtitled), 18 min, 2005, India
Who's Sandra? If you saw her would you know here? Is she naughty or nice? And where is she, anyway?
The film is a playful look at the figure of "Sandra from Bandra" - part covetous fantasy of the racy Christian girl from Bombay who works as a secretary, wears a dress and likes to dance; part condescending stereotype of a dowdy, religious girl from a minority community.
The film searches for Sandra in Bollywood films, in the words of writers and poets and the stones in church graveyards. We encounter various claimants to the title - some who aren't called Sandra and some who aren't even from Bandra - until finally finding 5 women really called Sandra who are all as different from each other as can be even if they are a little bit the same.
