Go Behind the Badge and Behind the Curtain at North Bend Theatre, Aug. 15-17, 2025

The North Bend Theatre in North Bend, Washington has become the destination for special Twin Peaks and David Lynch-themed events. This one-screen theatre was home to the U.S. premiere of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Now, on the 33rd Anniversary of that screening, the theatre invites fans to go “Behind the Badge” and “Behind the Curtain” with a celebrity-filled weekend of film screenings, Aug. 15-17, 2025

GO BEHIND THE BADGE AT NORTH BEND THEATRE – AUG. 15-16, 2025

On Friday, Aug. 15, the North Bend Theatre is holding the first of two screenings of Lynch’s 1992 film.

The screening will begin at 6:00 p.m. (doors opening at 5:00 p.m.) and will be followed by Question and Answer session with Twin Peaks Sheriff Department stars, Michael Horse (Tommy “Hawk” Hill), Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan) and Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs).

Immediately following their conversation, attendees will have an opportunity to meet the stars and have items signed (additional charges will apply).

The Twin Peaks stars will return on Saturday, Aug. 16, the 33rd anniversary of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, for another screening beginning at 3:00 p.m. (doors open at 2:00 p.m.).

After the film, the three actors will participate in a cement handprint and autograph ceremony. They will join the Walk Of Fame outside the theatre which has the handprints of Sheryl Lee, Kyle MacLachlan and, coming soon, Ray Wise.

Another Question and Answer conversation and autograph session will follow the handprint ceremony.

If this event is anything like the one held in August 2024 with Sheryl Lee, you will not want to miss attending!

GO BEHIND THE CURTAIN AT NORTH BEND THEATRE – AUG. 17, 2025

Attendees can go “Behind the Curtain” on Sunday, Aug. 17 with a tribute to David Lynch in the land of Oz. Three movie screenings will be held between noon and 6:00 p.m. beginning with the the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz.

When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.

At 3:00 p.m., the 2022 film by Alexandre O. Philippe, Lynch/Oz, will be screened. This documentary highlights Lynch’s obsession with The Wizard of Oz and its influence on his films, which many filmmakers and critics argue should be considered a foundational text for much of his work.

At 6:00 p.m., David Lynch’s award-winning Wild At Heart races to the silver screen. Written by Lynch and Barry Gifford, the film is a wild ride.

After serving prison time for a self-defense killing, Sailor Ripley (Nicholas Cage) reunites with girlfriend Lula Fortune (Laura Dern). Lula’s mother, Marietta (Diane Ladd), desperate to keep them apart, hires a hitman to kill Sailor. But he finds a whole new set of troubles when he and Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), an old buddy who’s also out to get Sailor, try to rob a store. When Sailor lands in jail yet again, the young lovers appear further than ever from the shared life they covet.

Lynch’s film won the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival Winner. Ladd was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role during the 1990 Academy Awards. It was nominated for Best Sound at the 1991 BAFTA Film Awards and Chris Isaak won Best Video for “Wicked Game” at the 1991 Video Music Awards.

This was my first David Lynch film I saw in 1993 which got me hooked on everything he created.

Each ticket to the Behind the Curtain screenings will include a slice of pizza.
