The SundanceTV (DStv 108) Sunday Premiere slot continues throughout the month at 21h00 with a festival pedigree premiere every week.

In For No Good Reason on May 10 Johnny Depp pays a call on his friend and hero Ralph Steadman, taking us on a high-spirited, lyrical and soulful journey into the life and works of one of the most important radical contemporary British artists.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Burke star as friends setting off on an ill-advised camping trip to Wales in Third Star on May 17, while on May 24, Jim Jarmusch directs Gimme Danger, featuring Iggy Pop and Mike Watt and tracing the legacy and cultural impact of rock band The Stooges.
