Twin Peaks Festival

This year’s Twin Peaks Festival will be a smaller, scaled-down celebration. No visits from the Log Lady or behind-the-scenes docs about the beloved former TV series filmed out near North Bend. Instead, here’s a chance for David Lynch aficionados to gather with their kind to watch Mulholland Drive. (Which, BTW, began as the pilot for another TV series.) After the screening, viewers can adjourn afterward to SAM’s Taste café to discuss what, exactly, that 2001 mind-twister actually means. Just how innocent is Naomi Watts’ aspiring starlet? Is she inside the story or outside of it, rewriting her script as she’d like to see it? And what crime are she and Laura Elana Harring actually investigating? Then there’s the mystery of Billy Ray Cyrus: Has he ever been deployed to better effect? I think not. (R) BRIAN MILLER
