Iris Prize: Comedy Shorts

You can find humour in the most unexpected places, and this collection of Iris Prize LGBTQ+ short films does just that hosted by Berwyn Rowlands from Iris Prize.

One of the undisputed highlights is a Welsh language, Trans comedy

called TETH, that’s not something you don’t see every day! There’s even more comedy from Wales with Arth, before we travel to Norway to meet a Baldman, and things get complicated in Italy for a gay couple coming out to restaurant owning father, what could possibly go wrong. And how far would you go to delete some erotic text messages? Find out in Break In.
