Monthly: 1st Friday of every month

Free and open to public.

August: The First Friday Film Series will present David Lynch's 1986 masterpiece Blue Velvet–one of the most disturbing, yet most heralded, films ever made. Brilliant, visceral and at times psychologically terrifying–an effect that few directors other than Hitchcock could achieve–Blue Velvet explores the unspeakable darkness that lives beneath ordinary life in an ordinary small American town. It's a surrealistic, creepy, funny, frequently shocking trip to the underworld that, as strange as it seems, also appears strangely familiar. Thus, Blue Velvet is a beautiful dream and a nightmare all in one–in other words, unforgettable.

The film stars Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini (who nearly lost her modeling contract with Lancôme over this role), Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern and Dean Stockwell. (The recently departed Hopper turned in the performance of his life as Frank Booth, an almost unfathomably monstrous screen villain who is also unfailingly entertaining to watch.) Parental discretion is advised.
