Share, here is a short 55 second David Lynch movie. This was part of a project where directors were given an original Lumière 35mm camera which was invented about 1895. The camera can only run 55 seconds worth of film. The project meant that the filmmaker had to shoot those 55 seconds in real time in a single take. I think he found some creative ways to segment the short film. The film is called 'Premonition Following an Evil Deed'. As for the content of the Lynch mind, view all ye who enter: http://youtu.be/MFGroZJnklY More about the brothers Lumière: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_and_Louis_Lumière The brothers also developed the first commercial colour photographic plates for taking photographs in colour. By the way, Mel Brooks, who hired David Lynch to direct The Elephant Man, had screened Eraserhead prior to their first meeting. He said to Lynch 'You're a madman, I love you!' or something to that effect.
