    Event description

    KNEECAP

    Northern Ireland, 2024, 104min, MA 15+

    Irish/ the Queen's English

    Witness the rise of Kneecap - the Belfast trio who became the voice of a generation. 

    Based on the origin story of the riotous and ground-breaking Irish-language rap trio Kneecap, the film stars the band’s Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí in their acting debuts alongside Academy Award® nominated Michael Fassbender with Simone Kirby, Jessica Reynolds, Fionnuala Flaherty and Josie Walker. 

    When a Belfast schoolteacher crashes into the orbit of two unpredictable and raucous best-friends, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other.

    Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh leap onto the screen to play themselves in this heightened comedy-drama about the anarchic group, Kneecap, who become unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.

    Armed with a blend of native Irish and English verses and furious, politically charged rhymes, the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant ketamine-fuelled sound. In this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, KNEECAP is a rollicking trip into the meaning of pure defiance.

    Winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2024.

    Directed by Rich Peppiatt.
