Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Lynch’s finest! Surreal melodrama and neo-noir fairytale unite in a disorienting sensory overload of severed ears, mechanical robins, and blood-red curtains. What can you say about this film that hasn't already been said? Revisit Lynch at his most elegant and disturbing with live Badalamenti-inspired guitar from The Brackish’s Luke Cawthra."

DAVID LYNCH TRIBUTE: BLUE VELVET + LUKE CAWTHRA (LIVE MUSIC)
Film. Suburbia. Innocence. Corruption.
The Old Picture House, 7 Winton Street, Totterdown, BS4 2BW
27th September
Doors are at 6:30 PM | Live Set: 7:00 PM | Film Screening: 8:00 PM |
David Lynch’s Blue Velvet is a landmark in American cinema, a neo-noir that explores the hidden violence beneath the façade of suburban life. With Kyle MacLachlan as the wide-eyed investigator, Isabella Rossellini as the haunted nightclub singer, and Dennis Hopper in an unforgettable turn as Frank Booth, the film fuses melodrama, surrealism, and menace into a disturbing vision of innocence confronted by corruption. Both controversial and acclaimed on release, it remains one of Lynch’s defining works.
Live Prelude by Luke Cawthra
From 7:00 PM, guitarist and composer Luke Cawthra (The Brackish) will perform a set inspired by David Lynch and his collaborator Angelo Badalamenti. Drawing on 20 years of filmic, atmospheric compositions, Luke creates music with potent ambience and transcendent qualities — the perfect introduction to Blue Velvet.
