The Prix Iris for Best Live Action Short Film (fr|Prix Iris du meilleur court ou moyen métrage de fiction) is an annual film award presented by Québec Cinéma as part of its Prix Iris program, to honour the year's best short film made within the cinema of Quebec. Starting at the 16th Jutra Awards, the award was presented to the directors and producers of the short films. Prior to that ceremony, only the directors received nominations.
Until 2016, it was known as the Jutra Award for Best Live Action Short Film in memory of influential Quebec film director Claude Jutra.[1] Following the withdrawal of Jutra's name from the award, the 2016 award was presented under the name Québec Cinéma.[1] The Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016.[2]
Hany Ouichou received the most nominations, five, and won one award, while François Jaros, Fanny-Laure Malo and Maria Gracia Turgeon won two awards, each time in consecutive years: Jaros and Malo in 2016 and 2017 and Gracia Turgeon in 2019 and 2020.
Two short films nominated during the 21st Quebec Cinema Awards were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film: Fauve at the 91st Academy Awards and Brotherhood at the 92nd Academy Awards. Invincible, the winner of the award at the 25th Quebec Cinema Awards, was also nominated during the 96th Academy Awards.
