The documentary David Lynch: The Art Life premieres at the Venice Film Festival.
The documentary by Rick Barnes, Jon Nguyen and Olivia Neergaard-Holm tells about the formative years of the iconic filmmaker. The documentary explores motives of his creative work and takes the audience inside the mind of the author of such renowned works as Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive.
David Lynch: The Art Life is billed as a private memoir of the filmmaker and a documentary about the years that shaped him as an artist. The film shows Lynch’s childhood and early life in a small town in Montana and the years in Philadelphia. The main character appears in front of the camera, tells personal stories and shares his archive photos.
“In those days my world was no bigger than a couple of blocks. I had tremendous freedom. My own little place that really would be such a world,” David Lynch says in the trailer.
The filmmaker recently finished the work on the sequel to his iconic series of the 1990s Twin Peaks that will be released next year. He also plans to appear as an actor in Lucky, a debut film by John Carroll Lynch that will also star Harry Dean Stanton. David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive recently topped the BBC’s list of the 100 greatest films of the 21st century.
