ERASERHEAD d. David Lynch, 1977 + Pre-screening drinks + Intro by The Evolution Of Horror podcast at Genesis Cinema (26 APR 19:30+).

“David Lynch’s 1977 debut feature, ERASERHEAD, is both a lasting cult sensation and a work of extraordinary craft and beauty. With its mesmerizing black-and-white photography by Frederick Elmes and Herbert Cardwell, evocative sound design, and unforgettably enigmatic performance by Jack Nance, this visionary nocturnal odyssey continues to haunt American cinema like no other film.”

“The Evolution of Horror is a weekly podcast in which Mike Muncer, the host, explores the history of the horror genre by delving into particular sub-genres across several weeks. each episode mike is joined by a different guest: a critic, filmmaker or expert, to discuss a particular film in depth, to look at it’s place within a sub-genre and it’s impact and legacy on cinema history.(Evolution of Horror)
