Remembering a visionary: David Lynch Today, we bid farewell to a true master of cinema. David Lynch’s surreal storytelling and boundary-pushing artistry have left an indelible mark on film and television. At Better World Fund, we were honored to celebrate Lynch’s legacy during our 2022 Venice Film Festival gala at la Mizericordia di Venizia. Joined by Catherine Deneuve and Joanna Plafsky, board member of the David Lynch Foundation, we paid tribute to a man whose work transcended the screen. May his creative spirit continue to inspire generations of filmmakers and artists. Rest in peace, David Lynch. Your dreams will forever be part of our reality.
