This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 translating John Birmingham's bestseller He Died with a Felafel in His Hand, contributing to the screenplay, and collaborating on the production of the film of the same name.
Since 1992, she has been one of the Italian correspondents for the Australian radio and television network SBS.
Biography
[edit]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 as Ciao 2001, Music&Arts, Il Mucchio 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 the Motion 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, and L'Unità [3]
After working for several years with the press office of the Venice Biennale, she curated a series of film festivals, including the first edition of L'Isola del Cinema in Rome,[4] the first edition of the Tavolara Film Festival, and two editions of the Vieste Film Festival alongside Antonio Falduto. She also collaborated with the Locarno Film Festival. Since 1996, she has been one of the Italian correspondents for the Australian network SBS.[5]
She later worked extensively with the press offices of major American film distribution companies, including Columbia/Sony, Paramount Pictures, Miramax, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros, serving as a talent handler during film premieres held at the major European festivals.
In 2000, she published the book L'Australia sul grande schermo,[6] 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.[7]
Her encounter with director Richard Lowenstein and writer John Birmingham, who were working on the screenplay for the film He Died with a Felafel in His Hand,[8] led to the idea of translating the novel into Italian. It was initially published by Edizioni Theoria and later acquired by Fandango Libri,[9] becoming a bestseller in a short time.
Subsequently, for Universal and Working Title, she translated the production diary of the film Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, written by Emma Thompson.
More recently, she has published the novels Con la tua Panda?!? and Wagga Walla Blues, as well as the short story collection Dieci racconti brevi (Per chi non ha mai tempo di leggere).
