Catching the Big Fish: The Lynch Legacy
If you already knew David Lynch, you know how huge is this loss. If you don’t - lucky you! You might be about to discover your favorite film director.
First of all, one minute of silence for the greatest master of all times.
Where it All Started
David Keith Lynch was born in Missoula, Montana, on January 20, 1946. Because of his father’s job, he spent his early years moving around small-towns in the US – a topic what would later be recurrent in his films.
Before entering cinema, Lynch studied Fine Arts at several Academies: Corcoran School of the Arts and Design (Washington, D.C.), School of the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Philadelphia).
It was at the Pennsylvania Academy that Lynch first experimented with moving images. He had the idea of creating a painting that moved, which led to his first short film: Six Men Getting Sick (Six Times) (1967), an animated loop projected onto a sculptural screen.
