Just like the Giant, we will tell you three things…
1) In the series finale of Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer famously tells Agent Dale Cooper: “I’ll see you again in twenty-five years.”
2) Although airing on June 10, 1991, the episode unfolds—as every true fan knows—in the Twin Peaks world on March 26, 1989.
3) With the 25th anniversary of Laura’s comment upon us, the The Paley Center for Media—which presented the U.S. premiere of Twin Peaks back in March 1990—has every intention of celebrating the occasion, along with Welcome to Twin Peaks, and you are cordially invited to attend. Come join us for a damn good Twin Peaks screening on March 29th 2014 (almost 25 years later to the day) at the Paley Center for Media in New York City and Los Angeles.
Here’s what’s happening at A Damn Good Twin Peaks Screening in NYC:
- A micro-marathon for devotees of the show, or a crash course for Twin Peaks virgins: the world premiere public screening of Northwest Passage, Q2’s rare 5-hour fan edit of Twin Peaks focusing exclusively on the Laura Palmer story. Less shenanigans, more mystery. And a lot of Dale Cooper!
- Live music by Lauren Fox and Ritt Henn, performing Twin Peaks music from their Ghosts of Love: Songs from the Reel World of David Lynch show.
- A cup of DAMN good David Lynch coffee courtesy of Java Distribution, and a slice of pie that is a miracle thanks to Four & Twenty Blackbirds.
“You ever been surprised before?“
And this is what’s planned for A Damn Good Twin Peaks Screening in L.A.:
- A micro-marathon for devotees, or a crash course for Twin Peaks virgins: the world premiere public screening of Northwest Passage, Q2’s rare 5-hour fan edit of Twin Peaks focusing exclusively on the Laura Palmer story. Less shenanigans, more mystery. And a lot of Dale Cooper!

I wish to be American right now. Incidentally my birthday is on march 29.
and who would’ve thought we’d see 25 years and here we are.
the LA event was a big disappointment. Originally promoted as a “celebration” of Twin Peaks – it boiled down to a poorly attended and thrown together screening of a very low-res fan edit of the series. Seriously? it was introduced by a guy who didn’t even take to the stage/podium – he just ambled down the steps of the theater mumbling about “25 years later.” Picture and sound quality were low. There were no other events or exhibits. Seriously? In Los Angeles? At the Paley Center? This is all you could throw together? All of the stars of the show live here. The director lives here. There was a bigger event for PSYCH/TP Dual Spires episode. Once we realized that we had been suckered into a 5 hour screening – and that’s it – we walked out. Bummer.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Welcome to Twin Peaks curated the New York event only. It is my understanding that Paley L.A. decided to dedicate all their resources to the star-studded PaleyFest 2014. That’s why they only screened the fan edit without any bells or whistles.
