About this Event

Join us for this screening of The Queen of My Dreams, part of Manchester Museum's 2025 South Asian Film Club, a series of film showings inspired by the South Asia Gallery.

South Asian Film Club returns for 2025 for a series of film showings inspired by Manchester Museum’s South Asia Gallery. From modern day British-Asian stories to historical biopics, join us to be entertained and hear from guest speakers on the connections between these films and the award-winning community co-curated South Asia Gallery.

Set in 1999 with flashbacks to 1969, The Queen of My Dreams follows Pakistani-Canadian Azra who is worlds apart from her conservative Muslim mother. When her father suddenly dies on a trip home to Karachi, Azra finds herself on a Bollywood-inspired journey through memories, both real and imagined; from her mother’s youth in Karachi to her own coming-of-age in Canada.

This season of South Asian Film Club has been programmed by South Asia Gallery co-curator Nazma Noor and the film will be introduced by Aminah Zaman, a queer British Pakistani writer and poet based in Manchester.

The film runtime is 97 minutes.
