Under the creative direction of Robert Redford, Sundance Channel features a broad range of programming, from niche, genre-focused cinema to socially provocative films, documentaries and original series.
Films on the network will include titles such as the 1984 John Sayles' urban fantasy comedy/sci-fi gem The Brother from Another Planet, Dae-wung Lim's horror picture Bloody Reunion and the American Film Theatre's film adaptations of stage plays such as The Iceman Cometh starring Jeff Bridges. Documentaries include Errol Morris' off-centre look at pet cemeteries in the acclaimed 1978 Gates of Heaven, Rupert Murray's exploration of the ocean crisis in The End of the Line and an entertaining look at a rapidly expanding musical subculture in Nerdcore Rising.
Original series will include Isabella Rossellini's critically acclaimed Green Porno, which takes a scientifically accurate yet extremely entertaining look at the reproductive habits of marine animals and other creatures; and The Lazy Environmentalist, which makes the case that helping the planet doesn't have to be hard.
The Sundance Channel will replace Drive-In Classics on Monday, March 1, 2010.
