Robert Redford brings Sundance Film Festival to London
March 16th, 2011 - 3:00 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 16 (ANI): Actor turned film-maker Robert Redford is bringing his Sundance Festival to London, a four-day culture festival to be held at the O2 from April 26-29, 2012.
Redford hoped the festival - which includes films and live music acts - would bring the “very best in current American independent cinema” to the UK.
Speaking at the Sundance London launch on Tuesday, Redford said organisers wanted to “help build a picture of our country that is broadly reflective of the diversity of voices not always seen in our cultural exports,” reports the BBC.
Redford founded the Sundance Film Festival, which takes place annually in Utah in the US in 1978. (ANI)
