Award-winning film is third in a tribute to David Lynch, celebrating his legacy
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Blue Velvet” showing June 13, 18 and 19 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
“Blue Velvet” is the third film in a series honoring the work of legendary director David Lynch, who earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Director for this film.
“Blue Velvet” features an award-winning ensemble cast, including Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern, Dean Stockwell and Hope Lange.
The discovery of a severed human ear found in a field leads a young man on an investigation related to a beautiful, mysterious nightclub singer and a group of psychopathic criminals who have kidnapped her child.
College student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) returns home after his father has a stroke. When he discovers a severed ear in an abandoned field, Beaumont teams up with detective’s daughter Sandy Williams (Laura Dern) to solve the mystery. They believe beautiful lounge singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) may be connected with the case, and Beaumont finds himself becoming drawn into her dark, twisted world, where he encounters sexually depraved psychopath Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper).
“Blue Velvet” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Friday, June 13 at 4:00 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday, June 18 and 19 at 7:00 p.m.

David Lynch was a master of Surrealist Murder Mystery. He also had a decent sense of humor which added to his artistic screen work. Thankfully his work is being immortalized in recent works such as the Tony Hillerman Dark Wind television series which concluded with a fitting tribute to Lynch. Blue Velvet set the tone for such classics as Twin Peaks.
