Relaxed Screening: Twin Peaks (1990) BFI Too Much Melodrama Season

Relaxed Screening: Twin Peaks

Come join us at Newcastle City Library for a Relaxed Screening of 1990's Twin Peaks: Northwest Passage.

Directed by David Lynch, written by David Lynch and Mark Frost and starring Kyle MacLachlan, Ray Wise and Lara Flynn Boyle. The small Pacific Northwest mill town of Twin Peaks might have a beautiful and sleepy facade, but scratch the service and scandal, murder, and corruption are revealed.

Twin Peaks remains a cult classic, inspiring pop culture creatives ever since it first screened.

The programme has been curated by Daydream Cinema, a neurodivergent-led organisation based in Newcastle.

Daydream Cinema delivers events that aim to be accessible for disabled and neurodivergent audiences, but all are welcome to attend.

Craft-a-long while you watch (if that's your thing!)

During this screening, the audience is encouraged to enjoy a fun, creative pastime such as knitting, crochet, drawing or paper based crafts while watching the film. We know that some people can find it a lot easier to watch films while doing something else at the same time. This is completely optional - you are also welcome to just sit and watch the film!
