Altrincham Film Club: Kneecap

Altrincham Film Club presents KNEECAP, on Tuesday 28th January.

Fighting the police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant sound, this hilarious Irish trio become the unexpected faces of a Civil Rights movement fighting to save their native language.

KNEECAP won seven British Independent Film Awards, including the top honour Best British Independent Film, it has been shortlisted for the OSCARS 2025 in the Best International Feature Film category and has just been short-listed in six categories at the BAFTA’s!

Reviews:
“Kneecap is fecking fantastic and searingly smart. A breakneck blast of the best kind of rebellion – music.” Nadine Whitney, The Curb.

“Touchpaper-recent history is boiled into the nothing-to-lose, dry-witted eloquence of its subjects and their appetite for rebellion.” Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies.

“Kneecap’s music is not for me. This is what I thought before I saw their film. I’ll save you reading the whole article. Go watch Kneecap. Go watch this movie. Learn Irish if you’re able.”  Jay Rafferty, The Broken Spine.

Drinks available from the bar between 7pm and 8:00 pm.

Short film at 7:30pm followed by our main film KNEECAP
