Earlier this month the David Lynch Master's in Film program (DLMA)* at Maharishi University of Management launched the Outer Dimensions Film Series, a twice-monthly film salon that will showcase indie/alternative features, shorts, and trailers from the DLMA family as well as a wide range of other film artists.
The salons are for all cinema lovers who want to get together twice a month to watch and discuss movies. Films from DLMA guest speakers and contributors such as Hollywood producer Bill Borden (Mission Impossible III, High School Musical) will also be featured.
The series began with a weekend of films at the Orpheum Theater on March 4–6 that included shorts and trailers created by the current DLMA students, as well as trailers, behind-the-scenes videos, and thesis films from DLMA alumni.
The event also included a documentary short along with a hybrid drama/documentary/magical reality feature from DLMA Program Director Michael Barnard.
The film series is sponsored by DLMA cofounder and executive director Joanna Plafsky, with all proceeds going to support DLMA students and programs.
The playlist for future events can be found at the David Lynch MA Film Facebook page.

FOOTNOTE:
*David Lynch Master's in Film program:
“This Master's Degree in Film teaches all the aspects of filmmaking, but with the profound addition of Transcendental Meditation as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
"This gives those in the program the ability to dive within—to transcend and experience that unbounded ocean of pure consciousness which is unbounded intelligence, creativity, happiness, love, energy, power, and peace.
"The students in this program grow in these all-positive qualities, and it serves the work in glorious ways. The big secret to great filmmaking, I believe, lies within in the big treasury within us all. This is a truly great program.”—David Lynch
