The 11th Sundance London hits the West End this summer and the line-up to the UK’s key indie fest has just been unveiled.
Screening at Picturehouse Central in June are 11 films, a programme of UK shorts, and, of course, the fest’s ever-popular surprise screening.
It all gets underway on June 6 with raucous Irish Gaelic hip-hop docudrama, ‘Kneecap’ – Belfast’s answer to ‘Patti Cake$’ or ‘8 Mile’ – and wraps on June 9 with Sean Wang’s Taiwanese-American coming-of-age story ‘Dìdi’.
Bold cinematic voices are core to the fest’s philosophy and this year they’re provided by the likes of non-binary filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun (‘I Saw the TV Glow’), Shuchi Talati (‘Girls Will Be Girls’), and Londoner Chiwetel Ejiofor (‘Rob Peace’).
Here’s the full festival line-up of fiction features and documentaries:
- ‘Dìdi’ (Sean Wang)
- ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ (Shuchi Talati)
- ‘Handling the Undead’ (Thea Hvistendahl)
- ‘I Saw the TV Glow’ (Jane Schoenbrun)
- ‘Kneecap’ (Rich Peppiatt)
- ‘My Old Ass’ (Megan Park)
