It's been a tumultuous period for Irish rappers Kneecap - under intense political pressure and immense media scrutiny, gigs cancelled and their appearance at Glastonbury under threat. And now here is a statement - in both the track and the powerful visual by Finn Keenan - about their defiance and resolve. It all came together very quickly, in the days following that blistering performance at Glastonbury, but Keenan's extraordinary visualisation of The Recap - documentary combined with impish animations, political polemic and celebration of their unshakeable support for Palestine - may be the most significant thing that Kneecap have done. And that includes their amazing movie. This is an intense experience, and certainly one primarily for their fervent supporters. But as with Kneecap, as well as the political message there is humour - and also a shoutout to Helen Wilson, the lady in the crowd at Glastonbury who livestreamed the performance to the world. Finn Keenan has commented: “It took a lot of Incredibly talented and passionate people to come together to make this video in just over a week. I can’t believe the trust and support we got from Kneecap and their team. A once in a lifetime kind of job. So grateful to each and every one of yiz. More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish, Mo Chara. X”

Directing duo Helena Ganjalyan and Bartosz Szpak have created a mesmerising dance film to accompany composer/producer Stefan Wesolowski's brooding and ominous composition Core.Filmed on the streets of Warsaw, the film follows four characters negotiating their surroundings in a somnambulant state. Their narcolepsy is the basis for their unpredictability, shifting between stillness and sudden swaying movement, wearing expressions of confusion and fatigue.This is beautifully captured by the directors, focussing on the range of characters, from young student to well-to-do woman, silver-clad street performer and middle aged businessman. And its transported to another level by the radiant monochrome cinematography by Tymoteusz Pieszka."In our concept we start our exploration from the Japanese concept of inemuri - a short nap taken in a public place," state Helena Ganjalyan and Bartosz Szpak. "We are interested in a consideration of human presence in a world that emanates constant development, momentum and movement - symbolised by a large, multi-layered city."Experienced directors in Poland, they have worked with brands such as Google, Samsung, PUMA, Coca-Cola, Audi, Hertz, mBank, Audioteka, Disney, Virgin Mobile, Pernod Ricard. Ganjalyan’s background is also choreography, theatre direction and photography, and Szpak’s in music composition and directing audio productions. Their debut feature film Glorious Summer had its world premiere at South By Southwest 2025, and they are currently they are developing their second film, Two Peas.
