For the first event of 2026, Lightstruck is extremely excited to present a double feature of programs from one of our very favorite artists and individuals, Fred Worden. Since 1970, Worden has produced a wide range of experimental filmmaking in the purest sense of that term – his work engages in deeply thoughtful, endlessly exploratory investigations into the ecstatic adventure of primal perception and optical phenomena that are unique (elemental, even) to motion pictures.

Just one year ago, David Lynch, an innovative filmmaker who constantly pushed the boundaries of abstraction, nightmare and sensory plasticity in images, passed away. A major artist, his work drew on many forms and inspired filmmakers, either directly or more indirectly. Tonight, Braquage is launching a long-term cycle, in which every year on 15 January we will screen a series of experimental films evoking one of David Lynch's films. In 2026, we will begin with Lost Highway.
