‘Scoop’ is a new section of Electra that allows authors to unveil original, unpublished work. In this first ‘Scoop’, the highly-esteemed Indian photographer, painter and director Sarah Singh, who lives between India and New York, presents her next film, Alexandra, in words and images. She began to imagine this film, a ‘work in progress’, twelve years ago and is shooting it now. Alexandra, the feminine form of Alexander, symbolises the great undertaking of a woman director who wants to connect the distant past with the present.
