Calling all film fans! The Sundance Film Festival returns to Cineworld at the O2 from 25 to 27 April 2014, showcasing the very best independent film and music from around the world.
Since its inception in 1978, Sundance, created by legendary actor and director Robert Redford, has gained in status to become one of the most recognised film festivals in the world. Sundance now returns to London for its second year and Cineworld O2 is once again thrilled to play host to this landmark event in the cinema calendar.

From the Collection
Memento – Christopher Nolan's calling-card movie, this complex, head-scrambling and utterly compelling story of a man with no short-term memory features a memorable performance from Guy Pearce.
