New York/London – To celebrate the first-ever Sundance London film and music festival (April 26 to 29 at The O2), Sundance Channel in Europe and Asia will feature new programming, including the TV premieres of recently acquired titles from the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

The titles acquired include: California Solo from US writer/director Marshall Lewy; Brazil’s Father’s Chair (A Cadeira do Pai) from director Luciano Moura; and Greece’s L, directed by Babis Makridis.

Airing on May 5 and 6, the network’s exclusive coverage of Sundance London will be created by young aspiring producers, thanks to a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Sundance Channel and Sundance Institute, and the young producers programme recently established by Shine Group and youth agency Livity.

Robert Redford commented, “This is a continuation of our mission that began 30 years ago in the mountains of Utah. Independent film has since become one of the most exciting forums to showcase diverse voices and compelling stories. Sundance Channel continues to provide a platform for emerging talent.”
