American auteur David Lynch opens up about the magic of the cinema in this new profile from Stella McCartney. Created by Lynch's son Austin Lynch and fine artist Case Simmons, the creative duo behind Los Angles-based studio Tête-à-Tête, their film offers us a rare insight into Lynch behind the lens, teaching us about his theory of film as well as his lifelong pursuit of transcendental meditation.
Himself
This is a video performance of their holiest ritual, the Sabbath Assembly, as recorded August 23, 2009 at The Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles CA. About 50% of the video is the ritual itself, consisting of recitations from their unique liturgy interspersed with vintage hymns. The text is read by original Process minister Sammy M Nasr and the songs are performed here by the band Sabbath Assembly (Jex Thoth, Imaad Wasif, Kevin Rutmanis and Dave Nuss - obviously taking their name from the ceremony itself). Following the ritual is a slideshow presentation on the church narrated by original Process member/author Timothy Wyllie and finally a Q&A interview with Timothy conducted by Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey. So while it's not a documentary exactly, you certainly learn about the history of the church, its practices, and get a good feel of what it was like to be a member.

Laurel Canyon, una calle que atraviesa el corazón de Hollywood Hills, ha sido desde siempre el hogar de músicos, actores, artistas y otros bohemios. En ella vive Jane (Frances McDormand), una veterana productora de música que intenta conseguir el éxito para una banda británica cuyo cantante Ian (Alessandro Nivola) es su joven amante. Sam (Christian Bale), el hijo de Jane, y su novia Alex (Kate Beckinsale) se acaban de graduar en medicina en Harvard. Ambos, conservadores y serios, se trasladan a Los Ángeles con la intención de completar sus estudios y quedarse a vivir en casa de Jane.
