THREE more countries will be competing this year in the Wales film event, the Iris Prize Festival.
Taking place in Cardiff this October, nominations are pouring in for the £25,000 Iris Prize, which is awarded to the best lesbian and gay short film as judged by an international panel of jurors.
It is the largest prize for a gay and lesbian short film competition in the world and will allow the winner to make their next short film in the UK.
All of the shortlisted films are screened during the three-day festival which is held at Cineworld and Chapter Arts Centre. The festival also includes screenings of seven new feature films.
Organisers have confirmed that three new events have joined the Iris network of film festivals: MIX Brazil, Hamburg International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and Israel International LGBT Film Festival. They will now nominate a short film to compete for the Iris Prize.
Other partner festivals include LA, Sydney, New York, Hong Kong and Dublin among others.
