The feature film Two Weeks, screening at this year’s festival, began life as a nine-part web series. With more and more people watching serial and feature-length drama via streaming, the show’s creator Mary Duong will talk about how she came to develop Two Weeks, and what the future has in store for web series and visual storytelling in general.

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.
