Join us for a special presentation of Twin Peaks – Visual Soundtrack (1992) paired with Myself Two Seconds to Cry (2025) the new film by Erik Sutch with live score!
Every screening of M2S2C is different, live scored by new instrumentalists each time. On this night, Sutch will be performing live narration joined by Andrew Breiner (Bacchae) on guitar and David Sexton on violin.
Only ever released on laserdisc, Twin Peaks – Visual Soundtrack is super rare to see in theaters.
Both films were made similarly, using music with long exteriors and tracking shots from the window of a car to really soak up a town’s atmosphere, and placing you squarely in the setting.
Twin Peaks – Visual Soundtrack (1992) was made by a Japanese film crew visiting the locations the show was shot in Snoqualmie, WA. The footage is edited to Angelo Badalamenti’s score creating a haunting walkthrough of the town set to the sounds of Badalamenti, Julee Cruise, and David Lynch.
The film includes casual strolls through the halls of the Great Northern, and terrifying cameras roving through the train graveyard where Laura Palmer was killed. Julee Cruise sings “The Nightingale” as we’re shown what’s on the walls of The RR, tracking locals enjoying a slice of cherry pie or out for a night stroll nearby. It’s a tribute both to the creative visions of David Lynch and Mark Frost, and to the real town they chose to shoot their early ’90s TV masterpiece.
The crew includes one cameraman named Hideo Kojima who may or may not be the same Kojima of Metal Gear Solid / Death Stranding fame.
Myself Two Seconds to Cry (2025) follows Sutch returning to his hometown of Gaithersburg, MD, shooting footage of exterior locations tied to memories he shared with people he knew there who died young. The stories of the times are recited live alongside the film accompanied by different instrumentalists at each screening.
“The digital presence left by people I knew who died young has vanished. Songs they’ve uploaded, photo albums, public diary entries, all deleted and all that’s left is generic obituaries. When I think of these people, I think of a place. With two cameras, I’m returning to places we shared memories, and capturing the outline of a time we shared there in present and in past. “
