A masterpiece of early '90s surrealist television, David Lynch's Twin Peaks retains its cult status to this day. Through two inventive, mind-altering series, one question reverberated around the televisual world - who killed Laura Palmer?

But Lynch's opus was so much more than just a murder mystery. Through his often melodramatic, funny and sinister rendering of the small-town community of Twin Peaks, Lynch's ambivalent portrayal of America has stayed under the skin of many a media buff for almost two decades.

Join Martyn Pedler (film critic for Triple J Magazine and University of Melbourne), Dr Saige Walton (University of Melbourne), Christian McCrea (Swinburne University), Alexandra Heller-Nicholas (La Trobe University) and Simone Hine (University of Melbourne) for a marathon nine-hour celebration of Twin Peaks talks and screenings that pay homage to some of your favourite characters as well as the auteur of eerie Americana himself, David Lynch.
