As well as scheduled talks, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet and talk with filmmakers and guests during the lunches, which are open to those with a day, weekend or full festival pass. A limited number of lunch tickets are available on the door each day for £5 (cash only, subject to availability).

Wednesday – Meet the Team who produce Iris Prize LGBT+ Film Festival
Thursday – Meet the UK Media unions
Friday – Meet the International Film Festival Organisers
Saturday – Meet the filmmakers and actors with films screening at Iris 

Iris isn’t just a celebration of LGBT+ storytelling from around the world, it’s also an opportunity for filmmakers to share experience and expertise. The Iris Industry talks bring industry professionals together to talk about their careers and field questions from visiting filmmakers and filmgoers. This year’s programme of talks are sponsored by the University of South Wales.
