Beginning in September, the Philadelphia Film Society will take you on a two month journey through the acclaimed film works of David Lynch. Through moderated discussions and in-depth conversations, we will immerse you into Lynch’s universe, featuring an on-stage conversation between Lynch and his long time friend, American journalist Kristine McKenna at the Prince Music Theater during his week-long visit to Philadelphia. This series is presented in conjunction with David Lynch: The Unified Field at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), the first major U.S. museum exhibition of PAFA alumnus David Lynch, on view from September 13, 2014 to January 11, 2015. Organized in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition features over 90 paintings and drawings from all periods of Lynch’s career. It includes rarely-seen early work from Lynch’s time in Philadelphia (1965-70), a critical period in his creative development.
