Kneecap is a 2024 comedy-drama about a Belfast hip-hop trio using music to revive the Irish language and assert cultural identity.
Kneecap follows the rise of the Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, composed of Liam Óg “Mo Chara” Ó Hannaidh, Naoise “Móglaí Bap” Ó Cairealláin, and JJ “DJ Próvaí” Ó Dochartaigh, who play fictionalized versions of themselves. Set in West Belfast in 2019, the film explores their coming-of-age journey, family dynamics, and immersion in the politically charged environment surrounding the Irish language

This event is part of a 'Rip it Up!', a mini‑season of films exploring youth culture, identity and expression in the UK, hosted at Stretford Public Hall.
Each screening is intended as an intergenerational event, pairing well‑known and contemporary films with youth‑led activity. Audiences can take part in creative activities including a zine‑making station, discussions, a post‑film DJ set, and a film-making workshop.
With affordable £4 tickets for under‑25s, the programme is designed to be welcoming, low‑cost and accessible, creating space for younger voices while bringing people together through film, conversation and shared experience.
This Project is supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery Funding on behalf of BFI Film Audience Network.
The doors will open at 6.45 pm for a 7pm DJ workshop. The screening of the film will begin at 8pm. Please arrive promptly as doors will close once the screening begins.
