Picturehouse and the Sundance Institute has announced the lineup of 11 feature fiction and documentary films, a specially curated programme of UK short films and a strand of repertory titles to celebrate the 40th edition of the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. for the 11th edition of Sundance Film Festival: London 2024, taking place from 6 to 9 June at Picturehouse Central.
These 11 feature films premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Utah in January and were specially curated for London by the Sundance Film Festival programming team in collaboration with Picturehouse. The Festival previously announced that it will open on 6 June with the UK premiere of writer and director Rich Peppiatt’s raucous and infectious Irish-language film, Kneecap and will close on 9 June with the UK premiere of Dìdi (??) written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Sean Wang. The big news here is that Sasquatch Sunset will play in the UK for the first time (read our review here); one of the truly unique films of the year.
Sundance Film Festival: London Ticket Passes are on sale now, with priority booking for Picturehouse Members and Sundance Film Festival Ticket Passholders on sale on 23 April. Ticket sales to the general public will open on 30 April. Tickets can be purchased today with a Sundance Film Festival ticket pass.
