The film on the Belfast trio will feature as part of the Great8 showcase at the Cannes Film Market, which connects filmmakers with those working in film financing and distribution.
A FILM ABOUT Irish language rap group Kneecap will be shown at the Cannes Film Market later this month.The main purpose of the Cannes Film Market is to connect filmmakers with those working in film financing and distribution.It presents eight new films from first and second time UK filmmakers to international distributors and Cannes festival programmers.
In preparation for the Cannes Film Market, the film will be introduced by Peppiatt and screened for the first time tomorrow for international distributors and festival programmers. Kneecap’s Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí play semi-fictionalised versions of themselves in the film. “We’re delighted to tell the Kneecap story, which is a complex one of music, politics, language, identity, and culture.”
“A language encumbered with forty words for stone now has one for stoned. But to get their voices heard the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians as the future of the Irish language erupts into the public arena – with them at the centre.
