Prix Iris for Best First Film

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix Iris for Best First Film (French: Prix Iris du meilleur premier film) is an annual film award, presented by Québec Cinéma as part of its Prix Iris awards program, to honour the year's best debut film made within the Cinema of Quebec.

The award was presented for the first time at the 21st Quebec Cinema Awards as a special award to the director and producers. Starting at the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards in 2020, the category became competitive, with the award being given to the directors and sometime screenwriters of the nominated films.

Many films nominated for this award also received notable nominations in other categories:
