Balcony won the Iris Prize and British Short Award Toby Fell-Holden enjoyed a double celebration last week, taking home the Iris Prize 2016 as well as the Best British award for his short film Balcony.
It was the first time in the prize's 10-year history that it was won by a UK filmmaker. The £30,000 prize will allow Toby to make a new short film in Wales, becoming the ninth Iris production.
Jury chair Cheryl Dunye said: “We felt that the director crafted a powerful film where not a single moment of its 17 minutes was wasted. The lead performance by Charlotte Beaumont was particularly outstanding as she took us on an internal transformation that left us speechless”.
“The film explored myriad social justice issues not only relevant to Lgbt filmmaking but also with those that intersect with race, class, and gender issues in both the UK and the world today”.
