"Eraserhead" - 30th Anniversary Restoration
Saturday, January 19 | 9:10 pm
David Lynch
1978/b&w/88 min. | Scr/dir: David Lynch; w/ Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart
A debut film of boundless invention and textured abstraction, Lynch's Eraserhead became a fixture of midnight screenings when it surfaced in the late-1970s. Father to a helpless creature left to him by his estranged girlfriend, lonely Henry wanders through a hallucinatory landscape somewhere between noir expressionism and post-apocalyptic surrealism."

David Lynch
1966-1996/color and b&w/76 min.| Scr/dir: David Lynch
From 1966's Six Men Getting Sick, a component of an art installation created while Lynch was a student, to Premonitions Following an Evil Deed, his 1996 contribution to the anthology film Lumière et compagnie honoring the turn-of-the-century inventors of cinema, tonight's program presents the diverse scope of David Lynch's short film work. Lynch's first wife Peggy stars in 1968's The Alphabet, an illustration of the ABCs filtered through child-like horror. The American Film Institute funded Lynch's darkly magical The Grandmother (1970) in which a boy uses his imagination to escape from his troubles at home. Shot while Lynch was working on Eraserhead to test two different kinds of black-and-white video stocks, 1974's The Amputee stars the director himself tending to a woman missing both legs. Following Blue Velvet, Lynch produced The Cowboy and the Frenchman (1988) for French television. Working for the first time with Harry Dean Stanton, an actor who would become a fixture for much of the director's feature films, Lynch fashions a comical encounter between the Old World and the Wild West."
