Three world premieres have been added to the Sundance Film Festival line-up.
Gurinder Chadha's It's A Wonderful Afterlife, Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are Alright and Galt Niederhoffer's The Romantics will all screen as part of the 'out of competition' line up.
All three of the directors have previously screened films at the festival. Chadha has previously brought Bend It Like Beckham, What's Cooking? and short film I'm British But... while Cholodenko won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the festival for High Art and also screened Laurel Canyon in Park City. Niederhoffer, meanwhile, received the 2007 Sundance Audience Award for producing Grace Is Gone.
Her film The Romantics is a love story and generational comedy based on her own novel that takes place over the course of one night at a deluxe seaside wedding.It features Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, Anna Paquin, Adam Brody and Elijah Wood.
Chadha's It's A Wonderful Afterlife is a comedy centering on an Indian mother who discovers finding the perfect son-in-law can be murder. It features Shabana Azmi, Goldy Notay, Sendhil Ramamurthy and Sally Hawkins.
The Kids are Alright, meanwhile, is a drama starring Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska and Ruffalo that charts the attempts by two children conceived by artificial insemination to bring their birth father into their family life.
Festival director John Cooper said: "When the opportunity to screen the latest films from three extremely innovative storytellers presented itself, we knew we could not deny our audiences.
"As an added bonus, all three are alumni of the Festival, so we are thrilled to be able to support them returning to Sundance with their newest work."
