Celebrate the life and career of one of cinema's great dream weavers.

He reinvented the melodrama, reimagined the road trip and turned film noir into a film nightmare. Join us in celebrating the life and enigmatic cinema of David Lynch.

For those who witnessed Eraserhead upon its release and followed Lynch’s astonishing career as it unfolded, his journey has been unparalleled. Yet, there’s equal thrill in imagining new audiences discovering his films for the first time – each one a treasure chest of mysteries, inviting obsession over the clues hidden within.

Cinema without David Lynch is hard to imagine. His lasting impact and immense contribution to the creative film landscape defy simple description. Instead, step into the cinema and experience it firsthand – share a strange dream with a strange audience and let the mysteries linger.

– Reece Goodwin, Curator (Film & TV)
