Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Kneecap, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director Rich Peppiatt and actors Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara and DJ Prováí, moderated by Carlos Aguilar (Film Critic).

When fate brings Belfast schoolteacher JJ into the orbit of self-confessed ‘low life scum’ Naoise & Liam Og, the needle drops on a hip hop act like no other. Rapping in their native Irish language, Kneecap fast become the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue. But the trio must first overcome police, paramilitaries & politicians trying to silence their defiant sound – whilst their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies. In this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, Kneecap play themselves, laying down a global rallying cry for the defense of native cultures.

Kneecap screened at the 2024 Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca Film Festivals

From Sony Pictures Classics, Kneecap will be released in theaters on August 2.

 
2024, 105 minutes, color | Written and Directed by Rich Peppiatt | Featuring Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, DJ Prováí, Michael Fassbender | Produced by Trevor Birney, Jack Tarling | Executive Produced by BFI Louise Ortega
