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.

Noor and Layla are breaking up, but is it the end of the road for these two Muslim women… or just the beginning? Structured around the five prayers of Islam, this tale of Queer Muslim love turns the conventional “girl meets girl” story on its head.


Mae Noor a Layla yn gwahanu, ond ai dyma ddiwedd y ffordd i'r ddwy ddynes Fwslimaidd hyn ... neu dim ond y dechrau? Wedi'i greu o amgylch pum gweddi Islam, mae'r stori hon am gariad Mwslimaidd Queer yn troi'r stori gonfensiynol “merch yn cwrdd â merch” ar ei phen.
