Film & Events

Sundance London Screening and Panel programs Proudly Presented by Sony Entertainment Network.

Each year over 6,000 films are submitted to the Sundance Film Festival. Of those, just 120 are picked to play at the festival in Park City. From the 120 that were shown at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2012, 14 have been selected to make their UK premieres at Sundance London.

In addition to these great films, there will also be some unique opportunities to attend Panels and hear guest speakers talk about the part they play in making films, documentaries and the role of music in modern cinema as well as the chance to experience one of Sundance’s signature ‘Labs’.

THINKING INDEPENDENTLY – UK versus US, MAGIC OF THE MUSIC and DOCUMENTARY FLASH LAB are Panel Events open to all fans of the film making process.
