In 1985 a young German filmmaker,
Peter Braatz, was invited by
David Lynch to Wilmington, North Carolina, to document the making of his new film, the iconic
Blue Velvet.
Over the following two months Peter was given unrestricted access to set, cast, crew and director, collating hours of behind the scenes footage, in-depth interviews and thousands of photographs.
The resulting abstract
No Frank In Lumberton film, released in 1988 with highly limited distribution, has never been commercially released. What's more, over 70% of the footage collected on set was never used. UNTIL NOW.
Featuring exclusively never before seen footage, the feature length
Blue Velvet Revisited will finally offer the most intimate, revealing and definitive insight into one of the greatest films of the 1980s, and one of the world's greatest ever directors.
As well as the documentary film, there will be an accompanying photo book. The evocative soundtrack for the film will be composed and performed by
Cult With No Name,
Tuxedomoon and
John Foxx.
