The London arm of the Sundance Film Festival will return to the city at the end of May, and has now announced the majority of its programme. Among the titles you'll be able to see in this year's festival are Idris Elba's Yardie, the UK premiere of The Tale, starring Laura Dern and Elizabeth Debicki, and Leave No Trace, the new film from Winter's Bone director Debra Granik.

Running between May 31 and 3 June at Picturehouse Central, the festival will present 12 films selected from the programme that ran in Sundance this past January. Other titles you'll be able to watch include horror thriller Hereditary, The Miseducation Of Cameron Post, Skate Kitchen, and Generation Wealth, from The Queen Of Versailles director Lauren Greenfield.

Oh, and because we know a lot of you loved The Greasy Strangler, you'll be happy to learn that Jim Hosking's latest, An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn, which features Jemaine Clement, will also screen.

That's not all – there will be panel discussions, post-screening Q&As, and a look at how to create more inclusion within the industry. There's also a chance for emerging talent to shine via two short film programmes, including one dedicated to the work of UK filmmakers. You can find more details at the Picturehouse site, including about the general ticket sales, opening 30 April and how to become a member, entitling you to priority booking starting 23 April.
