A short film about a newly-in-love couple who are forced to face the unknown in their lives when a mysterious woman arrives at their secluded campsite has won the 2013 Iris Prize – Cardiff’s International Gay and Lesbian Short Film Prize, and the world’s most prestigious prize for queer-themed short films. The £25,000 (AU $41,985) prize will allow the filmmaker to make a new short film in the UK.
At the sold out Iris Awards in Cardiff, Wales on Sunday evening, Jeff Cuthbert AM, Minister for Communities & Tackling Poverty announced that the international jury had selected Queensland-raised, Melbourne-based filmmaker Tim Marshall as the prize winner.
