Sundance London offshoot to be held in June next year

The Sundance Institute, which was founded by Hollywood actor Robert Redford in 1981, said in January the London offshoot of the annual Utah-based festival, would not take place this year.

Organisers said in a statement the London version would feature international and British premieres of movies from the 2016 edition of the main Utah event held in January, which is considered the top US independent film festival.

The London leg of the festival was launched in 2012.
