It has been announced that the Irish-language film Kneecap, "the origin story of the riotous and ground-breaking" Belfast rap trio of the same name, will open in Irish cinemas this August.
The autobiographical film, which recently won the coveted Audience Award at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, will come to Irish cinemas nationwide on 8 August.
The film from director Rich Peppiatt is also set to open the 2024 Galway Film Fleadh in July.
Kneecap is set in West Belfast in 2019 and tells the story of how the group, consisting of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí, formed and went on to "change the sound of Irish music forever".
It also stars Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender, Simone Kirby, Jessica Reynolds and Fionnuala Flaherty.
Kneecap includes Belfast's Fine Point Films, Dublin's Wildcard Distribution and London's Mother Tongues Films among its producers.
It is being released in Irish cinemas via Wildcard Distribution, who said in a statement: "We can't wait for everyone to experience this once in a generation Irish film this summer.
"Kneecap has been universally loved by audiences all over the world and we are so excited to bring it home to the 32 counties of Ireland. Seo Linn!"
