Sundance Institute and The O2 announce BRIT Award-nominated psychedelic pop band Guillemots and Academy Award-winning musician/actor Glen Hansard will join the Opening Night Event An Evening with Robert Redford and T Bone Burnett at the first-ever Sundance London film and music festival on 26 April at The O2.
These performances will enhance the conversation between filmmaker, actor and Sundance founder Robert Redford and 12-time Grammy Award winning musician, songwriter, and soundtrack and record producer T Bone Burnett about the relationship between film and music. Redford and Burnett will share their recollections of achieving great musical moments with the many filmmakers, actors and musicians they've collaborated with throughout their storied careers.
Joined on stage by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity), who will moderate the evening, the two artists of 'sound and screen' will utilise film clips from some of the many films they've worked on for which music made an indelible contribution. Redford and Burnett will also discuss some of their favourite musical moments from other great films that have influenced their work.
Guillemots said: "Would Guillemots like to hang out onstage with Robert Redford and T Bone Burnett and play a few songs too? Well, yes, we would actually! This is definitely a pretty good way to spend an evening."
Previously announced events and performances for Sundance London include: a rare intimate concert performance by Placebo; Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird performing Maxinquaye; a performance by Rufus and Martha Wainwright following the world premiere of Lian Lunson's film about the music of their mother, folk singer Kate McGarrigle; and screenings of 14 feature-length and eight short films from the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, U.S.A.
