Here's something a little different - rather than a dedicated film or animation festival, the next event to include
Klementhro in its line-up will be
The Official Twin Peaks UK Festival, which will feature it as part of a screening of David Lynch-inspired short films.
This one has special significance to me as I'm an absolute
Lynch devotee and everyone who had to endure being around me during the twenty-odd weeks the new
Twin Peaks was airing last year will attest that I was absolutely obsessed with it.
Although
Klementhro came about a few years earlier there was never any denying that its
not-always-appealing weirdness owed a debt to Lynch, in particular his leanings toward the humour of repetition and drawn-out-scenarios. Also the trope, if that's what you could call it, of a solitary figure on a journey peppered by meetings with increasingly bizarre characters has been a Lynch mainstay since his earliest days.
All that aside the event looks like great fun, with all sorts of Lynch-ey activities, events and screenings plus a bunch of people from the show itself will be there, so I'm excited to pop along and check it out. If you want to check out the schedule and grab tickets you can head over to the
official site.
