A rare glimpse into the mind of one of cinema’s most enigmatic visionaries, David Lynch: The Art Life offers an absorbing portrait of the artist, as well as an intimate encounter with the man himself. From his secluded home and painting studio in the Hollywood Hills, a candid Lynch conjures people and places from his past, from his boyhood to his experiences at art school to the beginnings of his filmmaking career in stories that unfold like scenes from his movies. This remarkable documentary by Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm travels back to Lynch’s early years as a painter and director drawn to the phantasmagoric, while also illuminating his enduring commitment to what he calls the art life: You drink coffee, you smoke cigarettes, and you paint, and that’s it. Description Source: Criterion Collection. We welcome artists, the NPCC community, film buffs and film students from all over the city to come and enjoy this community screening. The collection of films selected for Arthouse Cinema at NPCC have been chosen to offer a source of inspiration, conversation, and connection, and to bring certain artistic elements to light and screen that may speak to artists looking for a creative spark. A short Q&A session will be held at the end of each screening. Admission is free with a suggested small pay-what-you-can donation of $10.00, and snacks and refreshments (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. No outside food or drinks permitted. Enjoy responsibly.
