David Lynch, the acclaimed filmmaker and screenwriter known for his surreal artistic vision that revolutionized American cinema and television, has passed away at the age of 78.

His family announced his death in a heartfelt Facebook post, stating, “There is now a great void in the world because he is no longer with us.”

Lynch quickly became a household name among film enthusiasts. He made his directorial debut with the cult mystery horror Eraserhead, followed by The Elephant Man. He later attempted to break into mainstream success with his adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune, but as he admitted repeatedly over the years, he considered it one of the most challenging experiences of his career. Returning to his creative roots, he found critical and commercial success with Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart.

Lynch achieved widespread recognition in the early 1990s with the groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks, which redefined the medium and captivated audiences worldwide. Over the years, he revisited the Twin Peaks universe multiple times, through television films and a revival miniseries in 2017.


In his later years, Lynch explored various artistic pursuits, including short films and music. In 2020, he was honored with an Academy Honorary Award, having previously received three Oscar nominations for Best Director and one for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2001, he was awarded Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival for Mulholland Drive.
