WORDS CARRIE LYELL
The 2016 Iris Prize jury
Each year, the Iris Prize juries are tasked with choosing which short film will win the grandest prize in LGBT filmmaking – £30,000 to make another film. Past winners have included queen of Sundance, Dee Rees and filmmakers from as far afield as Norway and Australia. They all return to Iris’ home in South Wales to make their Iris Prize production with local crews and then go off into the world to continue making great LGBT film.
