Fancy a FREE Escape to the cinema? Escapes promises a destination for everyone, shining a light on the beauty and charm of independent cinema and spotlighting hidden gems. Next in this exciting series of free screenings is this insightful, comedic, and moving examination of South Asian identity – showing ahead of its official UK cinema release and giving audiences one of the first opportunities to watch it in the UK!

Azra 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.

Warm-hearted, time-shifting comedy drama about cultural and generational divides. A film by Fawzia Mirza, starring Amrit Kaur, Hamza Haq, Nimra Bucha and Charlie Boyle.

Escapes is supported by the BFI, with National Lottery funding. Helping to make cinema more accessible, all Escapes screenings will be presented with descriptive Subtitles on screen, and Audio Description when available.
