The David Lynch Foundation has just announced the return of the Festival of Disruption!

The third iteration of the immersive festival will be held in New York City and will be curated entirely by filmmaker/artist David Lynch on May 18^th – 20^th at Brooklyn Steel.

The festival, which first thrilled audiences two years ago during a sold-out weekend the LA Times called “weird, lovely…decidedly otherworldly,” will again unite David Lynch’s favorite creatives across disciplines and genres for a unique lineup of musical and artistic performances, talks, film screenings, art exhibits, meditation sessions and more, all with the goal of raising consciousness and funds for the David Lynch Foundation.

PRESS HERE for tickets. Additionally, there will be a limited number of tickets available that include an intimate cocktail party hosted by David Lynch himself on May 18^th.

The festival will feature the following:

• Performances at Brooklyn Steel by Angel Olsen (solo), Animal Collective, Au Revoir Simone, Flying Lotus (DJ set), Jim James (solo), Jon Hopkins, and Rebekah Del Rio.
• Talks and screenings by David Lynch paired with his Rare Short Films, Gregory Crewdson & There But Not There, as well as Isabella Rossellini & Blue Velvet
• Art exhibits by David Lynch, David OReilly, William Eggleston
• The NYC premiere of Sandro Miller’s Psychogenic Fugue featuring John Malkovich photographed as iconic David Lynch characters

*Meditation experiences led by Bob Roth and featuring Brian Eno’s Reflection

Proceeds from the festival benefit the David Lynch Foundation, whose mission is reducing toxic stress and trauma among at-risk populations, including victims of domestic violence, veterans suffering from PTSD, and underserved urban youth, through the evidence-based Transcendental Meditation technique.  The Foundation has reached more than 500,000 people since founding in 2005.  For additional information on the work of the Foundation, or to subscribe for news about its programs and events, visit www.davidlynchfoundation.org
