Big Bass
What does it mean to feel seen by others before you’re ready to see yourself? A filmmaker travels back to 1997 to revisit a dream-like memory from second grade that centers around her queer identity, her legendary PE teacher and a mysterious large plastic fish.
So Be It
So Be It is an animated documentary offering a rare and tender portrait of lifelong queer love. Through candid conversation, the film shares the stories of 5 LGBTQIA+ couples reflecting on resilience, commitment, and the privilege it is to love and be loved.
Breaking Walls
Journalist and activist Hoi Yi fights against the ever-growing global rise of surveillance and censorship, while suppressing his queer identity from his family. The personal repression he faces is reflected in his commitment to the freedom of others
The Last Day of Byron Bray
New York, one night in 2019. Mike arrives at his 92-year-old friend Byron's apartment after a crappy night at work. What seems like just another visit turns into the last conversation they will ever have: Byron has hung a sign on the wall, has money in the freezer, and a recent dream that has him ready to let go. Mike isn't.

Director’s bio

Michael Borrelli (He/Him/His) is an actor, writer and indie film producer hailing from San Diego, CA and currently based in NYC where he founded West 52nd Street Films. The Last Day of Byron Bray marks his directorial debut, and he is thrilled to have his UK Premiere at Iris.



Efrog Newydd, un noson yn 2019. Mae Mike yn cyrraedd fflat ei ffrind Byron, sy’n 92 oed, ar ôl noson ofnadwy yn y gwaith. Mae'r hyn sy'n ymddangos fel ymweliad arall yn troi'n sgwrs olaf y byddant byth yn ei chael: mae Byron wedi hongian arwydd ar y wal, mae ganddo arian yn y rhewgell, a breuddwyd ddiweddar sy'n ei wneud yn barod i adael i fynd. Nid yw Mike.
