We are delighted to present two short film programmes from the 2025 Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival.

Now celebrating its 20th year, Iris Prize is a global film festival based in Cardiff that champions the very best in queer cinema. Join us for award winners, audience favourites, and unforgettable stories from the 2025 festival.

Festival director Berwyn Rowlands joins us for a Q&A and to introduce the screenings.

Programme 1: Iris 2025: Best Bits

From a haunted tollhouse to a high-rise reckoning, from quiet self-discovery to a love song by the sea, these films capture the brilliance, beauty, and bravery that define Iris. Featuring Y Tolldy, Blackout, One Day This Kid and Never Never Never this programme celebrates the very best of Iris 2025.

Programme 2: When Love Broke the Law  

From forbidden kisses to real-life revolution, this double bill shows that love has always been our greatest act of defiance.

In Two People Exchanging Saliva, affection itself is a crime — and yet, someone dares to kiss. In Jackie, the fearless story of a pioneering lesbian activist reminds us that real change begins with small acts of courage.
