That is correct: Commencing tomorrow at SIFF Cinema at the Uptown is In Dreams: The Films of David Lynch, featuring every feature film Lynch has made except one (Inland Empire, so who cares?).

I have loved David Lynch even since I was twelve and went to see The Elephant Man, and the first 30 minutes were so terrifying I tried to get a ticket refund but they said no so I went back in and watched and was of course blown away. Later came Blue Velvet (the Never Mind the Bollocks of cinema, for those of us who came of age during the Eighties arthouse boom) and what's seen as the key Lynch ouvre, some of which I love (Mulholland Dr.!), some of which I love and hate at the same time (Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me), and some of which I've never seen (Dune, Lost Highway, The Straight Story). Here is my and everyone else's opportunity to immerse themselves in big-screen Lynch. Full info here.
