30TH ANNIVERSARY ENGAGEMENT
NEWLY RESTORED 35MM PRINT
ERASERHEAD
(David Lynch, USA, 1977, 35mm, 108 min)

One of the truly groundbreaking works of American cinema, ERASERHEAD is the first and boldest feature film from celebrated auteur David Lynch (BLUE VELVET, MUHOLLAND DRIVE). Famously described by Lynch as "a dream of dark and troubling things," his now classic surrealist-horror film about the interconnectedness of sexuality, identity, violence and loss was born from 22 pages that read more like free form poetry than a screenplay. With a small grant and donations from friends and family, Lynch shot the ultra low budget film intermittently over the course of six years. It was rejected by the Cannes and New York Film Festivals, and after its Los Angeles premiere Variety called it "a sickening bad-taste exercise" with "little substance." Thankfully, the film made its way to independent cinemas and became popular among a diversity of freaks, film fans and fellow directors, from Stanley Kubrick (who screened it for the cast of THE SHINING before production) to Mel Brooks (who hired Lynch to direct THE ELEPHANT MAN), In the decades since its release, Lynch's bold debut feature has become a staple not only of American cinema but also of world culture, influencing and inspiring countless filmmakers, visual artists and musicians. There are many different interpretations of this story of mangled, tormented reality. But all agree that ERASERHEAD must be seen on the big screen to be truly experienced. Join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of this brilliant and provocative work of American independent cinema. Newly restored 35mm print!
