The festival will present new work from American film-makers and musicians from 25-28 April, 2013.

Sundance London, an offshoot of the annual Sundance Film Festival held in Park City, Utah, will return to London’s O2 venue in both 2013 and 2014.

The festival will present new work from American film-makers and musicians from 25-28 April, 2013.

Sundance London will host international and UK premieres of independent films coming from the American festival, as well as panels and live performances.

“The vibrant arts community in London has informed this decision as much as anything,” Robert Redford, president and founder of the Sundance Institute said. “Seeing what comes of nurturing a broader global community for new voices and varied perspectives in American independent film and music, seems a worthy 21st Century endeavour.”

Tickets go on sale on 9 November.
