Comment: Are the external links at the end meant to be references? I do not understand why they are all there.-- NotCharizard🗨 09:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)Sandra Bordigoni (Rome, November 21,1961) is an Italian writer, journalist and translator.
She is known for her expertise in Antipodean cinema (Australia and New Zealand), for translatingJohn Birmingham's bestsellerHe Died with a Felafel in His Hand, contributing to the screenplay, and collaborating on the production of the film of the same name.
She is the author of two novels and of a collection of short stories. Her first novel was turned into a script and the project won the Italian Ministry of Culture'sSelettivi prize in 2021 (MIBACT).
Since 1992, she has been one of the Italian correspondents for the Australian radio and television networkSBS.
After starting her career in the late 1970s as a host of music programs on some of the newly founded free radio stations in Rome,[1] she moved to California and began collaborating with music magazines such asCiao 2001, Music&Arts, IlMucchio Selvaggio and Rockissimo, writing concert reviews, conducting interviews, and taking photographs. This made her the first Italian female rock correspondent from California.[2]
In 1988, she joined theMotion Pictures Association of America and began working as a film critic for the same publications.Upon returning to Italy in the early 1990s, she collaborated with numerous publications, including Panorama,Elle, Ciak, Anna, Il Sabato, Cinecritica, andL'Unità[3]
In 1994 she served as First Director Assistant on the film "Uno a me,uno a te,uno Raffaele", directed by American director Jon Jost, and in 2001 contributed additional dialogues to the scrip of the film "He Died with a Felafel in His Hand", produced by Fandango and directed by Richard Lowenstein[4]
After working for several years with the press office of theVenice Biennale, she curated a series of film festivals, including the first edition of L'Isola del Cinema in Rome,[5] the first edition of the Tavolara Film Festival, and two editions of the Vieste Film Festival alongside Antonio Falduto. She also collaborated with theLocarno Film Festival. Since 1996, she has been one of the Italian correspondents for the Australian networkSBS.[6]
In 2000, she published the bookL'Australia sul grande schermo,[7] a comprehensive guide to Australian cinema from its beginnings to the late 1990s, featuring film summaries and interviews with actors, directors, screenwriters, and producers from the Antipodes.[8]
Her encounter with directorRichard Lowenstein and writer John Birmingham, who were working on the screenplay for the filmHe Died with a Felafel in His Hand, led to the idea of translating the novel into Italian. It was initially published by Edizioni Theoria and later acquired byFandango Libri,[9] becoming a bestseller in a short time.
Subsequently, forUniversal Pictures andWorking Title, she translated the production diary of the filmNanny McPhee and the Big Bang, written byEmma Thompson.
More recently, she has published the novelsCon la tua Panda?!? andWagga Walla Blues, as well as the short story collectionDieci racconti brevi (Per chi non ha mai tempo di leggere).
