Hi, I am currently doing my masters at the University of Natal (Durban, South Africa. My dissertation is a comparative study of two women filmmakers of the Indian diaspora: Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta. I believe that they are two very important and interesting directors who are worthy of consideration in your colleague's research. Furthermore, I am working toward a specialisation in films made by Indian women and have a list of these female filmmakers. If your colleague is interested in this specific area, s/he can visit the following website: http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/users/sawweb/sawnet/cinema.html#filmakers I hope that this is helpful.
