Kneecap (Rich Peppiatt, Ireland 2024)

When fate draws Belfast teacher JJ into the orbit of the self-proclaimed "scoundrels" Naoise and Liam Og, it sets the stage for a hip-hop act unlike any other. By rapping in Irish, they spearhead a new movement to save their native language. There are 80,000 Irish speakers in Ireland, 6,000 of whom live in Northern Ireland, and three of them have formed the rap group KNEECAP.

This is the true story of how an anarchistic Belfast trio unexpectedly became leading figures in the fight to save their native language.

The Phantom Carriage (Victor Sjöström, Sverige 1921)

For the third year in a row, we welcome the New Year by showing The Phantom Carriage at Fyris the day before New Year’s Eve!

It’s New Year’s Eve, and the Salvation Army sister, Edit, is on her deathbed. She has one final wish: to speak to the incorrigible and guilt-ridden drunkard David Holm before she dies. Meanwhile, David Holm is sitting in a graveyard with his drinking companions, only to soon realize that the driver of death’s carriage is coming for him. The last person to die on New Year’s Eve becomes death’s driver, tasked with harvesting new souls in the coming year. But this new duty gives David Holm a chance to reflect on his life and the many wrongs he has committed.

Don’t miss this gripping and visually innovative silent film classic on the big screen and set the mood for New Year’s Eve! Featuring fantastic music by Matti Bye. Shown with both Swedish and English intertitles.
 

Voted the greatest Swedish film of all time!

In the fall of 2022, the film magazine FLM asked around seventy Swedish film critics and experts to rank their top ten Swedish films. The film that won by a landslide was Victor Sjöström’s now 103-year-old adaptation of Selma Lagerlöf’s classic ghost story, The Phantom Carriage.
