I LOVED scoring the magic portal that is LESBIAN LINES by CARA HOLMES, with additional music by @ruthbateofficial ✨ Screening at IRIS 2026: @irisprize 👁️

In a silenced Ireland, a community of lesbians builds an underground network of helplines - offering connection, survival, and defiance through the simple act of answering the phone.
Cara Holmes, the Director, will be attending the festival for the post-screening Q&A @cara_holmes_editor_director
