If it's March, it must be time to start thinking ahead to summer and the welcome return of Sundance Film Festival: London, which will kick off its 10th edition in July. And Scrapper, starring Harris Dickinson, will kick off the festivities this year.

Scrapper follows Georgie (Lola Campbell), a dreamy 12-year-old girl, who lives happily alone in her London flat, filling it with magic. Suddenly, her estranged father (Dickinson) turns up and forces her to confront reality.

The film will debut as the festival opener on 6 July at Picturehouse Central, with additional screenings planned during the event's run between 6-9 July. “Opening Sundance Film Festival: London is insane and not something we imagined getting to do," says Regan. "I'm so, so excited to bring the film to UK audiences and to get an extra step of the film's journey with the legends at Sundance." Scrapper won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic following its world premiere at Sundance in January.
