Robert Redford, President & Founder of Sundance Institute, said, I have long believed that the quality and originality of the independent films we show would be of interest to global audiences. Our Sundance Film Festival: London allows us to further help these new independent films get out into the world, starting with engaged audiences in the UK.
John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, Independent film takes a great step forward each year, and it is our pleasure and privilege to share these new independent films we love with London audiences. This year's film programme builds on the excitement of our most recent Festival in Utah and showcases new talent to watch as well as more established artists who continue to take exciting risks in their work.
Clare Binns, Director of Programming and Acquisitions at Picturehouse, adds, Since the opening of Picturehouse Central last Summer, weve been changing the landscape of Londons cinema scene and were delighted to be rounding off our first year with Sundance Film Festival: London. We are very excited to be bringing the best of this years Sundance Film Festival to London and UK audiences plus some very special events and appearances. I look forward to seeing all pass-holders on our super cool and view-tastic Members Bar balcony between screenings!
