About Event

​Film Director and Art House movie icon, David Lynch, passed away at the age of 78 years old, on January 15th.
On the night of Saturday, January 21st, we invite you to join us in watching one of his first films, where Lynch finally received the world's attention: Eraserhead.

Premise: Henry Spencer is a hapless factory worker on his vacation when he finds out he's the father of a hideously deformed baby.

This film is known for its surrealism, dark atmosphere, and disturbing visuals. Changing the world of film on its delicate axis in the year 1977. While this movie had very little public regard, in time it became the most horrifically memorable pieces of film, now embellished with countless awards and cult influence.

"Eraserhead is stunning work that redefines what a feature film can do both to and for audiences willing to take the journey." - RogerEbert.com | Peter Sobczynski

Where: The Itty-Bitty Literary Committee | GoBrunch | Theatre Room

What to Expect: At the end of this film, we will further discuss, analyze, and dissect what made David Lynch the most compelling filmmaker of his time, and how we too can adopt his persistence in art, and attempt to decipher the messages he'd hoped to convey.

Why you should attend: Challenging what we fear most as creators, this event is meant to push you to consider that your unique perspective of art, however strange, can reach the world and seize it; delivering one's own message in a roar of intrigue vs a dull fumble.
