Freddie Gibbs in Down With The King Cannes ACID

Freddie Gibbs in Down With The King Cannes ACID

Delano has 2 pairs of tickets to give away to the 7 March screening of Down With The King, starring rapper Freddie Gibbs.

Down With The King, written and directed by Diego Ongaro, stars Grammy-nominated rapper Freddie Gibbs as a disillusioned music artist who moves to a small farming community to escape the pressures of celebrity and reassess his life. The Austin Chronicle describes the film as “about a musician abdicating his throne, an existential crisis laid out with delicacy and insight.”

With real life farmer Bob Tarasuk virtually playing himself, the movie has some element of the documentary-fiction crossover that has been a hallmark of many indie films of late. Gibbs puts in a remarkable debut performance, providing nuance and humanity to the role.

The film is being screened as part of the Luxembourg City Film Festival’s collaboration with the Cannes ACID programme to promote independent film.
