  • Director Fawzia Mirza sits down with TIFF in Studio 9 to discuss queer Muslim representation in film, "recreating" 1960s Pakistan, and the influence South Asian cinema has on her first feature THE QUEEN OF MY DREAMS.
    In 1999, the sudden death of her father Hassan (Hamza Haq) sends queer Muslim grad student Azra (Amrit Kaur) flying back to her ancestral home in Pakistan, where her stern mother Mariam (Nimra Bucha) demands she play the role of the perfect grieving daughter. But through flashbacks to Mariam's own life in Karachi 30 years before, we see the connections uniting mother and daughter, starting with their shared love of the Bollywood star Sharmila Tagore.

    Absolutely stunning. All your hard work and efforts are showing gorgeously in the trailer. I wish all new pakistani films were made in this collaborative way. Honestly I'm kinda sick of all this goody goody covered up dramas that we have. Pak society is also spicy and vibrant the way you've shown. I've grown up with very strong and blunt women around me everywhere

    Is it safe for queer people in Pakistan? Doesn't she fear getting harmed/murdered going back?
