Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's Director Series - Deeper in Dreams: A David Lynch Retrospective

This year, the world said goodbye to a singular visionary, an artist whose fearless imagination reshaped cinema, sound, and the visual arts. David Lynch created worlds that were at once fascinating and unsettling, dreamlike and nightmarish, revealing the hidden paradoxes of human existence with unflinching honesty.

Through darkened hallways and suburban streets, beauty and horror, he gave us astonishing works of art we didn’t know we needed, and that we will never forget.

In honor of his extraordinary legacy, this retrospective revisits feature films, shorts, shows, visions, and more (with some surprises!) that defined his career and changed the way we experience storytelling on screen.
