FIPRESCI Prize for Best Actor Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Provái
Film Festival 2025
Based on a politically charged true story, two young Irish men join forces with a local teacher to form the hip-hop group Kneecap, sparking a movement around the Irish language. Featuring the real-life Kneecap members playing themselves, this riotous anthem crackles with ripped-from-the-headlines energy and rebellious spirit.
Congratulations to the Kneecap team on making the shortlist for Best International Feature Film for the 97th Academy Awards!
