Poreless, from Sundance and Berlin Award-winning director Harris Doran, TIFF & SXSW honored co-writer Fawzia Mirza, and first-time producer and actor Akbar Hamid, is a sharp, camp-infused comedy that follows Akram, a fabulous, queer Muslim beauty entrepreneur who must figure out how to compete in a Shark Tank-like product pitch contest after suffering an untimely allergic reaction. At its heart, Poreless is about the tension between how the world demands we appear and the liberation of being authentically ourselves. Through comedy, the film reframes the queer Muslim experience as both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
