The Iris Film Festival returns to Cardiff in early October to celebrate the best gay and lesbian short films from the four corners of the globe. The prize for the best film is an impressive £25,000. The films which have been entered come from all over the world and have been put forward for judging by national film festivals. As a result it is a real mix of genres so there should be something for everyone. Over the three days of the festival all of the films which have been shortlisted will be shown.
