Identified as one of the top 50 film festivals in the world by Movie Maker Magazine for the second year, we were also delighted this year to have been promoted by BAFTA to A list festival status alongside Cannes and Sundance by officially being recognised as a qualifying festival for the BAFTA awards. Our slogan is Watch films. Party Nightly. Repeat. Iris is the home of LGBT filmmaking, and the festival prides itself on sharing the best content from around the globe to our annual audience in Cardiff each October. This is made possible through our 25 partner festivals in 19 countries, ensuring that the very best in storytelling is shown at Iris. The Iris Prize Cardiffs International LGBT Short Film Prize is supported by The Michael Bishop Foundation and continues to be the largest LGBT short film prize in the world. With the winner receiving 30,000 to make their next short film in the UK, Iris is exactly what film makers need funding, support, guidance and of course a warm welcome into the Iris Prize family. To date seven short films have been produced with the winning filmmakers of the Iris Prize, with the eighth currently in pre-production. As for the ninth? Well, that could be yours.
