Rich Peppiatt’s Sundance award-winner Kneecap will open the 36th Galway Film Fleadh (July 9-14) as Palestine is unveiled as the festival’s country of focus.
The Irish-language hip-hop biopic collected the Next audience award at Sundance and has since screened at SXSW and at the Sydney Film Festival. Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí comprise the Belfast-based rap trio Kneecap and star as themselves in this dramatised origin story.
Galway will programme a selection of narrative and documentary films from and about Palestinian people that focus on “the land, breaches of international law and the targeting of civilians”.

Sony Pictures Classics announced on Wednesday that it will release Nathan Silver’s acclaimed comedy Between the Temples, starring Jason Schwartzman (Asteroid City) and Carol Kane (The Dead Don’t Die), in theaters nationwide on August 23.
The film will open against Zoë Kravitz’s debut feature Blink Twice (Amazon MGM Studios), the animated pic 200% Wolf (Viva Pictures), the remake of The Crow starring Bill Skarsgärd (Lionsgate), and the drama The Forge from Affirm Films.
Slated to make its New York debut at Tribeca in June, after playing both Sundance and Berlin to great reviews, Between the Temples follows Ben (Schwartzman), a forty-something cantor losing his voice and possibly his faith. Struggling to meet the expectations of his rabbi, congregation, and not one but two Jewish mothers (Caroline Aaron and Dolly de Leon), Ben finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher re-enters his life as an adult bat mitzvah student.

A group of teens wander into the woods, never to be found again in Irish found footage freakout The Glenarma Tapes. A new trailer teases some of the horrors ahead for the ill-fated bunch.
Dark Sky Films releases The Glenarma Tapes on VOD and Digital on April 2, 2024.
Watch the new trailer below.
The film’s official synopsis: “In Spring 2020 five students and two faculty members from the Mid Ulster College of Art went missing in a forest on the north coast of Ireland. What happened on the day they disappeared has remained a mystery – until now. Over two years after the disappearance, a police operation on a house outside Belfast uncovered footage of the students’ final movements, as their journey into the forest saw them bear witness to something they should never have seen. The Glenarma Tapes present that footage to the public for the first time.”

Organizers of the music festival South by Southwest, which takes place annually in Austin, sparred with Texas Governor Greg Abbott on social media Tuesday. After the governor criticized bands that had pulled out of the festival over objections to the U.S. Army sponsoring it, writing “Don’t come back,” the festival’s official X, formerly Twitter, account responded, “SXSW does not agree with Governor Abbott.” The music component of the festival started on Monday and will run through Saturday.

Belfast hip-hop trio Kneecap has canceled several shows they were due to perform at the SXSW festival to support their wild comedy biopic “Kneecap” in “solidarity with the people of Gaza.”
In a statement posted on its social media channels, the group — who go by the stage names of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí and star as themselves in the film — said that the decision was made due to “highlight the unacceptable deep links the festival has to weapons companies and the U.S. military who at this very moment are enabling a genocide and famine against a trapped population.”
We will not be appearing at @sxsw festival.

Viewers tuning in for Ireland’s popular The Late Late Show on Friday night saw the country’s rap trio Kneecap performing and sitting down in conversation, wearing pro-Palestine badges and clothing.
Saturday Irish broadcaster RTÉ released a statement to say that, prior to their appearance, the band had agreed through their management not to wear the emblems – but then proceeded to wear them live on air.
The Journal reports that the show’s producers had earlier told them that their performance would have to be cancelled if they decided to wear the badges, and they’d agreed not to.
RTÉ added in the statement released to The Journal: “However, during the live performance and the subsequent interview, the band chose not to comply with that agreement. They put badges on and revealed that one band member was wearing a Palestinian football jersey.”

The Rutz is like any great pub in Belfast, or anywhere in Ireland for that matter: kind of dingy, people stumbling out of the bathrooms, wiping powder off their faces, traditional Irish music playing loud on the speakers.
“It’s one of those places where you never go for one pint — you’re always stuck there for longer,” says Móglaí Bap, one-third of the Belfast rap trio Kneecap.
“The pubs here are like lobster pots,” adds Mo Chara. “You can get in them, but you can’t get out.”

If you stopped by the Bowery Ballroom in New York earlier this month, you might have encountered hundreds of rowdy fans rapping in Irish. They were there to see Kneecap, a hip-hop trio from Belfast who have earned tons of praise and controversy back home for their pointedly satirical music, which sounds sort of like the Beastie Boys if they were fun-loving Irish nationalists. It’s a wildly catchy combination on songs like “Amach Anocht” and “C.E.A.R.T.A.,” which use lyrics composed in Ireland’s native...
