Kneecap: West Belfast premiere for band film

Speaking on the red carpet on Tuesday evening, Mo Chara joked that “they tried to show it at Wembley and we were saying ‘no it has to be west Belfast, it has to be where it all started’”.

“The amount of times I used to sneak into films here, it’s great now to see everybody paying in for my film.”

Asked about becoming Ireland’s entry for best internal film at the Oscars, he said it was “just a great chance to wind people up again”.

“We’re all very proud of it,” he said.

DJ Próvaí added it was “brilliant for us that the Irish language is now at the forefront of a lot of what people are taking about”.

“It’s not just a language for one side of the community, it’s a language for everybody,” he added.

“It never was a divisive tool and it shouldn’t have been used as that.”

DJ Próvaí said that the acclaim that the film has received, including the NEXT Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival has been “surreal”.

“You don’t know if it’s going to travel well because there’s a lot of colloquialisms in it.”
