Iris Prize 2023
Here is some queer joy! A young girl calls on her ghostly best friend for advice on growing up; a socially awkward young man is happy to live in a world ruled by robots; a black trans woman prepares for the first real-life date with her online beau; a night of dating begins in a pub and ends in a skip; and a coming out anniversary party turns into a sad farce. Sometimes LGBTQ+ film can focus on heavy situations we can face, so this programme is designed for some light-hearted fun.
