Locarno says farewell to David Lynch with tribute film

Geneva, Aug 8 (UNI) The Locarno Film Festival presented the emotional, heartfelt and surprise tribute and farewell to the cinema legend David Lynch on the opening night of its 78th edition, courtesy of Lynch mentee Duwayne Dunham, who has worked as a director and editor.
Before the Locarno 2025 opening film unspooled, artistic director Giona A. Nazzaro set up the surprise homage without mentioning Lynch by name, saying the tribute was in memory of a creative who “left an indelible mark” on cinema, The Hollywood Reporter has reported.
Nazarro continued, “... His contribution to beauty, dreams, and art will never be forgotten. And tonight, we celebrate him with this tiny, wonderful masterpiece, An Unfinished Room…”
The short film featured words spoken by Lynch, discussing such things as his painting and film work and more, as well as scenes from such Lynch favourites as Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, and The Elephant Man, along with What Did Jack Do? It also included footage of Lynch painting and making music.
The film was edited by Dunham, who is also in Locarno to world premiere his Legend of the Happy Worker, “a fable for our time,” starring Josh Whitehouse, Thomas Haden Church and Colm Meaney out of competition.
The director and some of his actors and creative team were shown on the big Locarno outdoor screen on the Wednesday opening night as they were arriving and walking the red carpet.
