The Drift Queen is a high-octane documentary feature following Sandra Janusauskaite - a fierce and resilient woman carving her path in the male-dominated world of professional drifting. Filmed across Europe - from Spain, Latvia, and Lithuania to Hungary, Germany, Estonia, Greece, and Cyprus - the film captures the sport's intense physical and technical demands, along with the emotional and psychological toll it takes. Through Sandra's eyes, we witness the grit behind the glamour: the podiums, the breakdowns, the comebacks, and the relentless pursuit of speed. It's more than a racing story - it's a raw, cinematic journey into passion, identity, and what it takes to lead in a world that rarely hands over the keys.

What is an ethnographic film? Can there even be one? This film is an attempt— or, as we have come to call it, a "botched baby"— of trying to capture and read Humayunpur by thinking of how the city is reproduced by northeast migrants in Delhi. The title is play on words, for the tension and violence that is omnipresent in this process of place-making often goes unnoticed by the "rice beer-paglus" who haunt the lanes of Humayunpur.
