This fall, The Beacon, The Grand Illusion, Northwest Film Forum, and SIFF present the final long-form work of David Lynch — TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. With each block of episodes screening at least twice across the city, this is the opportunity to see the series how it’s meant to be seen.

The Beacon will be screening the entirety of the series on their screen, and the series will also be screening at Northwest Film Forum and SIFF.

The premiere of TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN on Showtime in 2017 was a moment of anticipation—and some trepidation—for admirers of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s two-season cult series. Was it going to be a return to form of the show’s first season on ABC, the Lynch-directed finale episodes, and the terrifying deathwatch that was 1992’s prequel Fire Walk with Me? Or would there be more of the dead-end subplots and general sense of diminishing returns that marred swaths of season two? The answer, as it happened, was neither: The third series was an all-of-a-piece Gesamtkunstwerk, totally disinterested in playing games of “fan service,” impossible to anticipate from one episode to the next, a devastating meditation on death and aging, and perhaps the apotheosis of Lynch’s genius for blighted Americana and far-out spiritual exploration. Lynch and Frost thought of the work as a continuing movie and, not ones to second guess them, we’re playing the whole thing on the big screen, in all its baleful and beautiful splendor.
