Robert Redford bringing Sundance Festival to London

Robert Redford will be bringing the Sundance Film Festival to London next year, with the help of musician T Bone Burnett.

It will kick-off at the O2 Arena in London on 26 April, with an 'Evening with Robert Redford and T Bone Burnett'.

The pair will discuss the classical music moments in their careers and the films that inspire them. It will be overseen by author Nick Hornby with a special music guest yet to be announced.

Redford said: "The depth of T Bone's experience and accomplishments in the worlds of both film and music set the stage for the Sundance London programme and the celebration of music and film that's to come."

The festival will run for four days and play host to several film premieres shown at the US version of the event in January.

Redford established the Utah version of the Sundance Film Festival in 1980 after making his name in movies such as 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' in 1969 and 'The Sting' in 1973, for which he earned his first Oscar nomination.
