Canadian Film Premiere !
Directed by Peter Braatz
2017, Germany / Slovenia, 86 min

This intriguing documentary is based on hours of footage that was filmed and photographed on the set of David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. German filmmaker Peter Braatz obtained the exclusive rights to document the entire production of the cult classic from Lynch himself. Most of this footage has never been seen by the public. The film images, along with numerous sound recordings, photographs, paintings, objects and relics collected by Braatz, are selected and composed into an evocative new film, a story told without narration. These rare images are revisited, reinterpreted and released for the first time 30 years after the making of the film.

Reviews

Raw footage of Isabella Rossellini singing Blue Velvet live, Lynch directing Laura Dern, or Dean Stockwell commenting that he thinks the film is going to be “really funny” are the kind of inclusions that will be catnip to Lynch fans. One moment in which Lynch lays out his dream for the future of filmmaking is particularly startling, especially when viewed thirty years later.
