Kneecap, the Film: Playing Ourselves at Sundance
In 2024 a feature film carried our name. Here's a short guide to Kneecap, the film.
What is the film Kneecap?
Kneecap is a 2024 feature film written and directed by Rich Peppiatt. The three of us, Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, play ourselves in it.
Where did it premiere?
At the Sundance Film Festival, on 18 January 2024. It was the first Irish-language film to play there.
Did it go to the Oscars?
Kneecap was Ireland's submission for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards.
What else happened in 2024?
Our album Fine Art came out on 14 June 2024 on Heavenly Recordings, the same year as the film.
How does the film connect to the merch?
The film and the music come from the same place: Belfast, the Irish language and the three of us. Our designs carry that too:
- The Kneecap name in blocky white capitals
- Our releases, from 3CAG to Fine Art
- Catchphrases in Irish and English
What should I wear to a screening?
- A hoodie if the cinema runs cold
- A tee under a jacket if you're heading out after
- A crewneck for something in between
Every design comes on a tee, a long sleeve, a crewneck and a hoodie, with kids' and youth sizes too.
