REVIEWS – Underscore // Housejackers – two feature films enhanced by Phil Kieran’s scores – @BelfastFilmFes1 #bff25

ALT Two images side by side from films. An older man (Ian McElhinney) and a younger woman (Jessica Reynolds) are sitting or lying on grassland. Behind them are trees, some of which look like they're made of mushrooms. Two young men are in a night club. They're holding each other like brothers who have just met after a time apart. It looks intense.

My first feature film will premiere at Belfast Film Festival in November. Described as “a meditative psychedelic trip into the underlying fabric of reality”, it’s an experimental film that uses virtual production and AI.
