DREAMSCAPES: A DAVID LYNCH RETROSPECTIVE to

David Lynch (20 January 1946 - 15 January 2025)

The Projector celebrates the late, iconic filmmaker David Lynch with a month-long programme of some of his most influential works. A director of such distinctive, overpowering vision that he inspired his own adjective, David Lynch made films that seemed telegraphed straight from his unconscious to the screen.

From the unsettling surrealist imagery of his midnight-movie classic ERASERHEAD to the uncanny majesty of his Hollywood-set masterpiece MULHOLLAND DRIVE, Lynch’s labyrinthine puzzle boxes turn the American psyche inside out to reveal its deepest, darkest dimensions.
