David Lynch started his career as a painter. He is known for the dark, uncanny, mysterious, unexpected, and surprising stories he paints on the screen. The directors most talked about film is also his masterpiece Mulholland Drive. It is considered one of the best films of the 21st century and won the Best Director award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. As an example of a puzzle-like surreal film noir at first glance, he reaches from reality to dreams and invites the audience to follow a broken lover's wanderings in dead-end streets and get lost with him. You are invited to our dream interpretation session, which will start in the hope that we can find a way out in this city of dreams full of dead-end streets.
