Iris has been sharing stories from around the world for 15 years, so it’s always a pleasure and a privilege when we can share some from places new. Encompassing drama, documentary and a music video, these films take us to Russia, Iran, Bulgaria, war-torn Libya and the Atikamekw First Nation community in Manawan, Quebec. Globally, the rights and freedoms of Queer people vary greatly, and though these films shine a light on the terrible difficulties many still face, they also offer messages of hope.

Living in the tunnels beneath Tripoli a queer Libyan teenager, Britannia, dreams of escape to a better life, but an unexpected discovery forces him to question whether to stay or flee from his homeland and his friends. Baba is shortlisted for both the International and Best British prizes.


Yn byw yn y twneli o dan Tripoli, mae Britannia, bachgen ifanc Queer o Libya, yn breuddwydio am ddianc i fywyd gwell, ond mae darganfyddiad annisgwyl yn ei orfodi i gwestiynu a ddylid aros neu ffoi o'i famwlad a'i ffrindiau. Mae Baba ar y rhestr fer ar gyfer y gwobrau Rhyngwladol a Gorau Ym Mhrydain.
