IRIS PRIZE CELEBRATIONSÂ
In 2007, Dee Rees won the first ever edition of the Iris Prize, and two years later, her next film Colonial Gods, the first Iris Productions. Now Wales’ leading LBGT+ film festival plans to celebrate their first champion, as Rees’ latest film Mudbound has been nominated for four Academy Awards, including a Best Adapted Screenplay nod for Rees herself – and who knows, maybe by the time you read this, will have won. Along with a screening of Colonial Gods, guests have the chance to send Rees their best wishes before the upcoming Academy Awards take place.
Iris Celebrates Dee Rees, The Atrium, University Of South Wales, Sun 4 Mar. Info: 029 2023 2744 / www.irisprize.org.
Mudbound is available to stream on Netflix.
