Swan Song


Retired hairdresser Pat Pitsenbarger, who escapes the confines of his small-town Sandusky, Ohio nursing home after learning of his former client's dying wish for him to style her final hairdo. Soon, Pat embarks on an odyssey to confront the ghosts of his past and collect the beauty supplies necessary for the job. With a magnetic performance from legendary actor Udo Kier this Iris Prize festival favourite is a comical and bittersweet journey about rediscovering one's sparkle, and looking gorgeous while doing so.


Ticket includes entry to the Iris Friends Summer Cocktail party on Saturday 11th June where there will be an opportunity to meet director Todd Stephens before the film.

Jinkx Monsoon & Major Scales: Together Again, Again!


Jinkx is drinking. Major is balding. The world is collapsing. And reptiles rule the planet. In other words: not much has changed.

After a forty-five year hiatus, each of them is clinging onto what scraps of fame they still have. He’s got the songs; she’s got the voice. They’re still standing, and so are their grudges.


The RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon and musical prodigy Major Scales return to the UK with their most outrageous, salacious and sacrilegious show yet.


After all those years apart, they’re finally Together Again, Again!

I'm finally using my body for what I feel like it's made to do - Owain Train McGilvery


Owain Train McGilvary’s exhibition is informed by his close connection with a wrestling group for women and non-binary people, in the southside of Glasgow. Owain spent the last two years working closely with the group and has created an intimate video portrait that distils many of their conversations to explore key themes including the role of ‘villain’, gender, kinship and working class lives.
