Director
David Lynch
Born in Montana in 1946, the acclaimed screenwriter and filmmaker directed his first feature-length film, Eraserhead, in 1977, which quickly became a cult classic. He then continued his career writing and directing many features that have since become classics, amongst which Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Dr. (2001). In television, he created the famous series Twin Peaks (1990-1991), one of his most remarkable works. Lynch remains one of the biggest living auteurs up to today, defying the medium’s convention through the original, the surreal, and the unexplainable. After the director attended the LEFFEST’07, the last edition of LEFFEST, in 2018, paid him an homage, screening many of his films and exhibiting his still photography work.
