Sundance Expands Into England

Institute will host multi-disciplinary arts festival in April 2012

Robert Redford is taking the Sundance Film Festival across the pond.

The Sundance Institute will partner with AEG Europe to create Sundance London, a four day festival that will be held from April 26-29, 2012.

The event will include film screenings, live music performances, discussions, panels and cultural programs.

The event will be held at  The O2. Sundance will present American films and musical acts. 

"It is our mutual goal to bring to the UK, the very best in current American independent cinema, to introduce the artists responsible for it, and in essence help build a picture of our country that is broadly reflective of the diversity of voices not always seen in our cultural exports," Redford said in a statement.
