Weird on Top: Lynchian Shorts 1890-2024

Overview

"I love mysteries, to fall into a mystery and its danger ... everything becomes so intense in those moments. When most mysteries are solved, I feel tremendously let down. So I want things to feel solved up to a point, but there's got to be a certain percentage left over to keep the dream going. You understand it, but you don't understand it, and it keeps that mystery alive. That's the most beautiful thing." - David Lynch …[A] specially curated mystery box program of short-form cinema featuring films which have alternatingly inspired, or been inspired by, the one and only David Lynch. The curtains open and we go into a world. This is the place where dreams and nightmares come to life.
