Iris Prize celebrates amazing LGBT+ film all year round. Over its 15 year history, Iris Prize has become a leading voice in championing LGBT+ short film, and a significant event in the British film festival calendar. Iris Prize LGBT+ Film Festival takes place in Cardiff, Wales, UK each October. A BAFTA-qualifying festival for British film, Iris is also home of the Iris Prize £30,000 film award – the world’s largest short film prize. The award allows the winner to make a new short film. Iris also runs LGBT+ film screenings, mini festivals and LGBT+ outreach projects throughout the year in Wales and the rest of the UK.
