Sundance Director, Tabitha Jackson said to Deadline, “We’re thrilled to return to London and expand across the UK with an exciting program of films that tell fresh, independent stories — stories which are essential as we endeavor to understand our past while we reimagine our present and future.”

Universal has teamed up with the fest to provided viewings in multiple theaters throughout the UK. Tickets, VIP, and festival packages will be available via Picturehouses.com/sundamce beginning in June.
