Current Season
Iris Complex is developing Tethered, an original spy-fantasy film, and preparing the next Garden Tears screening on December 7, 2026 at Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar.
Next Screening
Monday, December 7, 2026 at 7:00 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Vintage Bookstore and Wine Bar.
Screenings
Iris Complex is building a local, eventually statewide, network of venues willing to open their doors to independent film with spaces that are unconventional and intimate. Think coffee shops, hotel rooftops, private homes, and outdoor spaces. Filmmakers with a finished film and venues who are willing to open their doors to local filmmakers are invited to reach out.
Residencies
Iris Complex is developing a residency program, open for now to filmmakers across every craft — directors, cinematographers, editors, writers, and producers. Interested artists are invited to write directly, sharing their background and the project they'd like to bring into it, so the program can be shaped around what each person needs.
Commissioning
Iris Complex is open to commission work as a director — narrative and experimental projects, and work rooted in dance or fashion. If you have a project in mind, reach out to begin a conversation.
