https://irisprize.org/blog/teth-set-to-open-the-iris-prize-festival-with-laughter-and-heart/ Teth written and starring Leo Drayton has everything: a slightly unhinged vicar, a granny who could best be described as a size queen and twists and turns that make this a perfect crowd pleaser of a film for opening night.

The film, produced by Beastly Media for S4C, gets its world premier screening this Tuesday 8 October at Vue Cinema, Cardiff as part of the opening night celebrations for the 18th Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival. Limited number of tickets available......

The rise of subtitles!
The rise of subtitles! From Young Royals to Squid Game, language is no longer a barrier to huge audiences enjoying great storytelling. Join us for our first discussion through the medium of the Welsh language, as we explore the hopes and possibilities for the doors this will open next.

Translation facilities available.

Cynnydd isdeitlau!
