This programme is just a taster of some of the great Lesbian shorts you’ll see this year at Iris. With loud and proud performance poetry and intimate character studies, boldly daring animation and a love story told in reverse, this is also a showcase of excellent women directors, both experienced filmmakers and exciting new talent alike.

Written by British-Syrian writer Lisa Luxx, Lesbian is a poem about the word itself and the decades of toxic connotations it’s acquired. Adapted into a film by Rosemary Baker and featuring a cast of real queer women this is a fierce call to arms to reclaim it. Lesbian is shortlisted for both the International and Best British prizes.


Wedi'i hysgrifennu gan yr awdur Prydeinig-Syriaidd Lisa Luxx, mae Lesbian yn gerdd am y gair ei hun a'r degawdau o gynodiadau gwenwynig y mae wedi'i ddenu. Wedi'i haddasu mewn i ffilm gan Rosemary Baker ac yn cynnwys cast o ferched queer go iawn, mae hon yn alwad ffyrnig i’r frwydr i'w hadennill. Mae Lesbian ar y rhestr fer ar gyfer y gwobrau Rhyngwladol a Gorau Ym Mhrydain.
