Step into the strange, beautiful and unforgettable world of David Lynch…
CAFILM presents a curated, four-part retrospective exploring one of the most influential and visionary filmmakers of our time, David Lynch. Through a series of weekly screenings and guided conversations, this program invites audiences to engage deeply with Lynch’s work, its dreamlike logic, emotional intensity, and enduring cultural impact.
Few filmmakers have shaped the language of modern cinema quite like David Lynch. Often described as “Lynchian,” his films blur the boundaries between reality and dream, beauty and terror, the familiar and the uncanny.
This special series offers a rare opportunity to revisit Lynch’s most iconic works on the big screen, while unpacking the themes, techniques, and cultural significance that define his singular voice. Each session includes a post-screening discussion led by Karen Davis, MVFF Senior Programmer Emerita, offering deeper insight into Lynch’s creative process, recurring themes, and lasting influence.

MORE THAN MOVIES
This series is designed to go beyond passive viewing. Each gathering creates space to:
- Explore the artistry and craft behind each film
- Reflect on themes and cultural context
- Engage in meaningful dialogue with fellow film lovers
- Connect with guest speakers, scholars, and programmers
A COMMUNITY IN MOTION
Because great films deserve more than a single viewing, and stories are most powerful when experienced together.
At the heart of CAFILM is a commitment to community gathering. In a time when so much of our viewing happens in isolation, this series creates space to come together, sharing not just the experience of watching a film, but the reflections, conversations, and connections that follow.
