Kneecap

Description

In Belfast, after the Troubles conflict, a teacher encourages two young drug dealers to enter the studio with their rage against ‘the British’. With satire, raunchy lyrics and lots of absurdity, they fight for their native culture. In this biopic full of sex, drugs and hip-hop, the Irish rappers of Kneecap play themselves. An award-winning must-see that will have you question “Did that really happen?!” more than once. Since the film released, the band is now making waves worldwide with their new album.

Bonkers! Competition

Bonkers! is a whirlwind trip through innovative, strange, and otherworldly films that break the boundaries of genres and look for new ways to reverently smash sacred houses. Sometimes absurd, sometimes shocking, but always good, or at least good for a heavy discussion afterwards. Join us down the rabbit hole and experience the film festival in its, shall we say, purest form.
