David Lynch Season at The Mockingbird is a journey into the uncanny, the surreal, and the strangely beautiful corners of American life. Across these films, Lynch turns everyday settings into dreamscapes, where small-town politeness hides something rotten underneath, desire curdles into danger, and reality slips sideways without warning. His cinema runs on mood, sound and instinct, blending noir, melodrama, absurd humour and pure nightmare logic into something that feels completely its own.
This season moves from velvet-curtain Americana and feverish romance to a rare, heartfelt detour, then back into the deep end with his most disorienting, hallucinatory work. Whether you’re a long-time Lynch obsessive or you’re stepping into his world for the first time, these screenings are made for the big screen, where the sound design hits harder, the darkness feels deeper, and the collective experience makes the weirdness even better. Come for the mystery, stay for the atmosphere, and expect to leave with images and feelings you can’t quite explain, but won’t forget.
