Step into the first event of a new David Lynch tribute series β€” a journey through surreal cinema, haunting sound, and fractured identity.

We begin with Lost Highway, Lynch’s hypnotic noir puzzle of paranoia, looping timelines, and memory collapse. Framing the screening is a live set from MYR, a Bristol-based sound artist whose lo-fi ambience and ghostlike textures channel the film’s eerie undercurrents.

πŸŽ₯ The Film

Lost Highway begins with Fred Madison, a jazz saxophonist haunted by suspicion and fear. He and his wife, Renee, begin receiving cryptic VHS tapes filmed from inside their home. As Fred's paranoia deepens, he’s arrested for a shocking crime... only to inexplicably vanish from his prison cell and be replaced by someone else entirely: Pete Dayton, a young mechanic with no memory of Fred or the events that came before.

Pete is released into a different life β€” one that draws him into the orbit of Alice Wakefield, a seductive and elusive woman who works for a violent gangster named Mr. Eddy. But Alice looks exactly like Renee. And Pete is not as far from Fred as he thinks.

What follows is a dark, looping descent through shifting identities, fatal desire, and psychological collapse β€” where time circles back on itself, personas blur, and reality twists under the weight of repression and guilt.

David Lynch invites you not to follow a plot, but to inhabit a nightmare where memory cannot be trusted, and the self may be a prison of your own making.

πŸ•³οΈ Expect:

- A surreal auditory prelude as you take your seat by the sound artist Myr.

- Lost Highway - One of Lynch’s most haunting, seductive films on the big screen.

- A post-film DJ set that resonates like the echo of a dream. Myr will play some tracks in keeping with the style and mood of the film.
