In light of the recent BFI news on the Ken Russell directors-cut release of 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔇𝔢𝔳𝔦𝔩𝔰 , what better time to peep the WHOLE issue (including penises) of my design for @cinemayearzero Ken Russell issue! *If this gets Zucked and my account gets banned we’ll know why

NOT BY LYNCH: The Lynchian Before and After David Lynch Presented by Arta Barzanji in association with Cinema Year Zero, Not By Lynch is a new screening series exploring the “Lynchian”: an often-used but rarely examined term whose lineage stretches before, around, and after David Lynch’s own cinema. While Lynch’s films offer the clearest expression of this sensibility, the roots and afterlives of what we call the “Lynchian” extend across film history. From haunted noir and ghostly Americana to experimental digital worlds and paranoid Los Angeles labyrinths, nine films—spanning the nine decades of Lynch’s life—trace different facets of the Lynchian: dream-logic beneath everyday life, the uncanny invading domestic space, identities slipping or doubling, worlds that bend at the edges, and dread that mingles uneasily with play, humour, and desire. Beginning 16 January 2026, the first anniversary of Lynch’s death, the season unfolds monthly at The Cinema Museum. Each screening features a new commissioned essay and an introduction by a Cinema Year Zero writer.

Hugely proud to be the designer for the latest issue of @cinemayearzero talking all things Piracy 🏴‍☠️ It was an absolute privilege to be involved, and from all accounts it sounds like the mag went down well (and sold out!) at its launch party courtesy of @electricbluecinema and @the_cinema_museum ⚓️ Some really great articles inside on Caribbean cinema, Deadpool and Wolverine, Torrenting and much more from a group of super talented writers and editors. Big thanks in particular to my boy and CYZ editor @blaiseradley for hooking me up with the opportunity and the CYZ team of @manlikeflan , @esmepartii and @kush__tea for helping me through the process.

NOT BY LYNCH continues on Friday 8 May at @the_cinema_museum . The next screening in the season is Jack Sholder’s The Hidden (1987) — a propulsive sci-fi thriller that mutates the body-swap premise into something darker, stranger, and more unsettling. The screening will be accompanied by a printed booklet, including a commissioned programme essay by @mahda.purmehdi , available exclusively on the night. Curated by @hairyabao In collaboration with @cinemayearzero Graphic design by @jj_designed About THE HIDDEN What begins as a familiar crime narrative — a series of unexplained killings, a lone FBI agent pursuing an elusive suspect — quickly mutates into something stranger. The perpetrator is not one person, but a presence that moves from body to body, leaving behind a trail of excess, violence, and desire. Starring a pre-Twin Peaks Kyle MacLachlan, The Hidden feels like an early echo of Lynch’s universe: hidden entities, divided selves, and identities that seem less fixed than inhabited. Beneath its genre pleasures, the film imagines America as a house of mirrors, where violence passes from one body to another and reality slips quietly out of alignment. 🎟 Friday 8 May, 7.30 pm 📍 The Cinema Museum, London 🔗 cinemamuseum[dot]org[dot]uk

NOT BY LYNCH continues on Wednesday 22 April at @the_cinema_museum . The next screening in the season is Jacques Rivette’s Céline and Julie Go Boating (1974) — a playful, labyrinthine tale of friendship, performance, and storytelling that unfolds somewhere between dream, game, and spell. The screening will be accompanied by a small printed booklet, including a newly commissioned programme note by critic Maria J. Pérez Cuervo (@mjpcuervo ), founder and editor of Hellebore (@helleborezine ). Introduction by season curator Arta Barzanji. Curated by @hairyabao Presented in collaboration with @cinemayearzero Graphic design by @jj_designed About CÉLINE AND JULIE GO BOATING Jacques Rivette’s Céline and Julie Go Boating begins as a whimsical story of two women — librarian Julie and magician Céline — who embark on a game of swapped identities, improvised performances, and shared invention. Following one another through the streets of Paris, they discover a mysterious house where a gothic melodrama repeats endlessly. By consuming enchanted sweets, they are able to enter the story, watch it unfold, and gradually take control — becoming both spectators and participants in a narrative that refuses to stay fixed. Like Mulholland Drive, Rivette’s film imagines stories as spaces that can be entered, replayed, and rewritten, where identities shift like masks and reality becomes porous. Lighter in tone but no less radical, Céline and Julie Go Boating transforms narrative into a site of play, doubling, and collective creation. 🎟 Wednesday 22 April, 6.30 pm 📍 The Cinema Museum, London 🔗 Link: cinemamuseum[dot]UK[dot]org

NOT BY LYNCH continues on Friday 20 March at @the_cinema_museum . The third screening in the season is Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls (1962) — a haunting, low-budget cult classic that drifts between psychological horror, dream logic, and ghost story. The screening will be introduced by writer and folklorist Kirsty Asher (@kush__tea ), Associate Editor of Cinema Year Zero. Curated by @hairyabao Presented in collaboration with @cinemayearzero Graphic design by @jj_designed About CARNIVAL OF SOULS Made for around $30,000 and largely filmed at night in empty locations around Salt Lake City, Herk Harvey’s only feature follows Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss), the lone survivor of a mysterious car crash who begins to feel increasingly detached from the world around her. After taking a job as a church organist in a new town, Mary finds herself drawn again and again to an abandoned pavilion standing far out in the Great Salt Lake. What unfolds is a strange journey through empty streets, silent interiors, and haunted spaces where the boundary between the living and the dead begins to blur. Long before the word Lynchian existed, Carnival of Souls seemed to anticipate it — with its eerie liminal spaces, its drifting sense of time, and the unsettling feeling that ordinary reality is quietly slipping out of place. Watching it today, one has the uncanny sensation that something from the future is already present: figures and moods that would later haunt the cinema of David Lynch. 🎟 Friday 20 March, 7.30 pm 📍 The Cinema Museum, London 🔗 Link: cinemamuseum[dot]org[dot]uk
