Line-up announced for Sundance London
The full programme for the inaugural Sundance London festival has been revealed, with films starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Dano and Chris Rock set to screen.
Fourteen narrative and documentary features will receive their UK premieres at Sundance London, held at the O2 Arena from 26-29 April, including comedy-drama Liberal Arts and LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits.
"I welcome the opportunity to see how people in the UK experience these films," said Robert Redford, President and Founder of Sundance Institute.
"While they are American productions they speak to universal experiences and global challenges."
He added: "Sundance London also is the perfect opportunity to continue our long-time commitment to growing a broader international community around new voices and new perspectives."
John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said: "Sundance London grew out of our desire to help American independent filmmakers expand their reach, and we are happy that these 14 filmmakers are joining us on this adventure.
"Their participation has helped us to not only create a programme for Sundance London that reflects the diversity of our film festival in Park City, but also that helps build an enduring legacy of American stories that speak to international audiences."
Other films in the programme include Julie Delpy drama 2 Days in New York, poverty dopcumentary Finding North and indie romance Safety Not Guaranteed.
