As part of the ongoing David Lynch laudation in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Film Society is hosting a two-month film retrospective celebrating the works of director David Lynch. On September 10th, preceding the Lost Highway screening at the Prince Music Theater, David Lynch was interviewed on stage by journalist Kristine McKenna. Topics covered include the Philadelphia-inspired Eraserhead, ideas, Transcendental Meditation, love and sex. During the audience Q&A afterwards, David Lynch discusses “happy accidents” and the use of an old Thought Gang track (“One Dog Bark”) in the deleted scenes on the Twin Peaks Blu-ray.
“There’s music for an album called Thought Gang, but it’s never been out. It needs some more work.”

And you’re driving along and you see another car…”

“Painting will always be alive and well, but the digital world opens up a whole other thing. Photoshop is one of the most magical tools ever invented. It’s incredible. (…) If you can think it, you can find a way to do it these days.”
