KNEECAP

In the organizer's words:

Feature film - IR 2024 - 105' - OmU

Director: Rich Peppiatt

The winner of the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival combines politics and pop culture in a rousing way. It tells the story of Northern Irish rappers Kneecap, who mix Irish and English rhymes and have become something of a folk hero in their home city of Belfast. Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, as they are known on stage, play themselves with infectious energy - which lends the film a special authenticity, even if the story of the band's formation would certainly not have been quite as wild and funny in reality.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
