To mark KNEECAP’s highly anticipated Antigel concert, come and discover the film telling the story of the group’s origins at a special screening at Cinélux. A wild musical biopic celebrating irreverence and the freedom of marginalised voices.
When fate brings JJ, a teacher from Belfast, into the orbit of Naoise and Liam Óg, an unlikely hip-hop group is born. KNEECAP rap in their native Irish and quickly become the improbable figureheads of a civil rights movement fighting to save their mother tongue. But first, the trio must stand their ground against the police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their rebellious sound – while their anarchic approach to life often makes them their own worst enemies.

In collaboration with Cinélux.

Born on the streets of Belfast, KNEECAP wield Irish Gaelic as a weapon of mass expression. Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí portray Northern Irish youth, its anger, excesses and irrepressible thirst for freedom against a backdrop of hip-hop and rave culture. From the album Fine Art to the film inspired by their own story, the trio have carried their language, identity and refusal to fall into line far beyond the borders of Northern Ireland.
