| Amanda Seyfried as Mary in First Reformed |
The festival - which will run from May 31 to June 3 at Picturehouse Central in London has also announced a programme selection entitled Films That Made Me, which will feature movies that inspured the work of Jennifer Fox, Debra Granik and Desiree Akhavan - all of whom have films screening at the event.
Thriller First Reformed stars Hawke as a Reform church pastor forced to confront his tormented past. It is an unusual addition to the programme in that it did not screen at Sundance in January.
The Films That Made Me selection sees The Tale director Fox select Jonathan Caouette's Tarnation from 2003. Granik, whose Leave No Trace will screen at the festival, has chosen Celine Sciamma's 2014 film Girlhood and The Miseducation Of Cameron Post helmer Akhavan pick Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar (2002. Each film will include an introduction from the director who chose it, explaining why it inspired their own filmmaking.
To accompany the international premiere of his filmmaking debut Eighth Grade, comedian, actor and YouTube superstar Bo Burnham will take part in a newly announced masterclass Make ‘Em Laugh: A Comedy Movie Masterclass.
General tickets go on sale on Monday, April 30, from the Picturehouse website.
