Capital Celluloid - Day 327: Saturday Nov 26

Twin Peaks Festival at the Riverside Studios: 10am (Saturday) - 12.30am (Sunday)

A marvellous day devoted to the brilliant David Lynch TV series with cast members, special screenings and all the doughnuts and cherry pies you can eat and coffee you can drink. The highlights are the screening of the alternative pilot of which I have a VHS copy, won at the time of the series' release in a Time Out competition, and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Lynch's extraordinary 1992 movie which works as a prologue/epilogue. The pilot programme has an ending which defies description and made  a deep impact on me when I saw it months before the TV series started here in Britain.
