Iris on the Move is the annual touring showcase from the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival, bringing award-winning short films to venues across the UK.
In 2026, we’ll be celebrating our 20th anniversary — marking two decades of sharing global LGBTQ+ stories & Cardiff Charm with audiences everywhere. Before the main festival (12–18 October 2026, Vue Cinema Cardiff), we’re taking Iris on the road once again and we’d love you to be part of it. All films have been classified by the BBFC.
