‘Kneecap,’ ‘Dìdi’ to Bookend Sundance London (EXCLUSIVE)
The U.K. premieres of Rich Peppiatt’s 'Kneecap' and Sean Wang's 'Dìdi' will open and close the 11th edition of Sundance Film Festival: London.
Rambunctious Irish-language film “Kneecap” is the real-life story of how an anarchic Belfast rap trio became the unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save and reinvigorate their mother tongue. “Bursting with unruly energy that practically escapes the confines of the screen, ‘Kneecap’ is a riotous, drug-laced triumph in the name of freedom that bridges political substance and crowd-pleasing entertainment,” reads Variety ‘s review of the film. Set in 2008 in California’s Bay Area, “Dìdi” is an ode to first-generation teenagers navigating the joy and chaos of adolescence as seen through the lens of a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy, played by Izaac Wang (Disney’s “Raya and the Last Dragon”).
