The programme of Sundance London film and music festival, which runs at the O2 from April 25 to 28, has been announced.
The programme includes 18 feature films and nine short films across four sections, including a new UK Spotlight.
Among the films screening are documentaries including SeaWorld expose Blackfish and Sundance US narrative grand jury prize winner Blood Brother, alongside hotly anticipated feature titles, such as Shane Carruth's Upstream Color and Lynn Shelton's Touchy Feely.
The UK Spotlight features documentaries The Moo Man and The Summit, plus psychological thriller In Fear and Michael Winterbottom's The Look Of Love.
Twenty-three films will make their international, European or UK premieres at the festival. Among the artists expected to attend are Lake Bell, Mike Birbiglia, Jimmy Carr, the Eagles, Barbara Kopple and Peaches, as well as Sundance Institute President and founder Robert Redford.
Redford said, “We would hope for Sundance London to be another 'Sundance' experience – lively, culturally relevant and fun. We look forward to engaging with audiences as we discover new voices, new points of view and new perspectives.”
John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “The film and panel programme announced today reflects the energy and enthusiasm that ignited audiences just weeks ago at our 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Building on the success of the first Sundance London, we again welcome the opportunity to engage with passionate and adventurous UK audiences and introduce them to the new work of independent filmmakers.”
In addition to film screenings and panels, Sundance London will host several live music performances and events. Peaches has been announced as the first headlining act for the 2013 festival, and tickets for that performance are now on sale. Additional music performers will be named. Among the 17 musical acts at the first-ever Sundance London were Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird, Placebo, and Rufus and Martha Wainwright.
Passes and ticket packages are available at www.sundance-london.com, and individual tickets will be on sale from 9am on Friday, March 15.
