David Lynch was a rare breed—an uncompromisingly experimental filmmaker who somehow found mainstream success. Yet while many can name his films and TV shows, fewer have actually watched them, and even fewer truly engaged with them. Lynch’s work is enigmatic, playing with the form of cinema while critiquing Hollywood itself. Above all, he resists easy interpretation. His films aren’t puzzles to be solved but experiences to be felt.

In this talk, Dr Peter Sloane explores Lynch's influences, his distinctive aesthetics, and his wider artistic pursuits. We’ll take a closer look at his most cryptic films—not to “decode” them, but to trace his recurring themes and obsessions.
