SCENE Presents:

Iris Prize: Night Life Shorts

The Iris Prize "NightLives" shorts programme takes you on a late-night journey where unexpected connections and quirky encounters steal the spotlight.

From a Cardiff burger bar where everyone’s a little bit too close for comfort in "Burger", to two strangers questioning their fears in "Scaring Women at Night", the thrills don’t stop. In "Single: Meat Cutes", an animated tale of dating disasters, three dateless friends end up in a skip-bin, while "Kasbi" explores a middle-aged woman’s search for self in a night with a sex worker. And in "Mirrors", two straight men find an unexpected connection in a gay club.

Get ready for a night of surprises hosted by Berwyn Rowlands from Iris Prize.
