Michael J. Keplinger’s award-winning short film IRIS has been selected for CenterFrame Curated, the curated showcase program of the international filmmaking platform CenterFrame. Through the initiative, selected short films are featured on CenterFrame’s YouTube channel, introducing them to a global audience of filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts.
Originally premiering at Crossing Europe in 2024, IRIS follows a woman waiting alone in a van deep within a remote forest when a series of unsettling photographs and messages reveal that someone may be watching her. Told largely through visual storytelling and sound design, the nine-minute thriller explores isolation, vulnerability, and suspense. Since its premiere, the film has received several awards, including the Creative Video Award by the Zawinul Foundation, Best Horror at the Austrian Filmfestival, and the Silver Medal at the 85th UNiCA Film Competition between Nations.
