Now in its 14th year of celebrating LGBT+ film, the Iris Prize LGBT+ Film Festival brings filmmakers and film lovers from all around the world to Cardiff. Iris is the home of the largest LGBT+ short film prize in the world, the prestigious £30,000 Iris Prize which allows the winner to make their next LGBT+ short film.
Famed for its open, friendly atmosphere, each year sees more visitors adopted into the Iris family. As well as the chance to see the very best in current LGBT+ short and feature filmmaking, the festival offers legendary parties, panel discussions and special events.
