Dir. David Lynch, USA, 1986, 120 mins. Cast. Laura Dern, Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper.

As a celebration of the life of Director David Lynch, who died in January, we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see the film that introduced audiences to his very personal blend of neo-noir, fairy tale, surrealism and small-town Americana. Blue Velvet is the stuff of vividly unsettling nightmares, centring on Jeffery, an ordinary young man, who is drawn into the nightmarish world of a cabaret singer after he finds a severed ear on a backlot, unaware that a monstrous mobster is the ruler of this domain. Packed with memorable moments combining the beautiful and the grotesque, the film is imaginative, mesmerising and often profoundly unsettling.

In partnership with Eek! Film Club. The screening on Friday 21st February will be introduced by Anna Navas, PAC's Director and Film Programmer, and Eleanor Tomas, founder of Eek! Film Club.
