Queer Vision's Spring Shorts: Interior

Step inside with us as we celebrate the best in award winning Queer Shorts from 2015 Iris Prize Festival.

From surprising encounters in grimy Northern Club toilets; to a middle aged disabled man's heartbreaking quest for human connection that has so far, eluded him; time travel with teenagers that highlights just how far society's attitude towards LGBTQs has improved in the last 30 years; to a remote Island off Chile and an unlikely romance. At times challenging but always moving, Interiors unlocks the doors and allows us a brief glimpse inside the room and the intimate encounters that take place there.

Presented by Bristol Pride with films supplied by the Iris Prize Festival. Introduced by Berwyn Rowlands from the Iris Prize Festival.
