David Lynch's 'Ant Head' Short Film Released Online
David Lynch has released a new short film titled 'Ant Head' online, following the global success of 'Twin Peaks: The Return'. The 13-minute video premiered at the latest edition of the David Lynch's Festival of Disruption. Originally conceived as a promotional piece for the album 'Thought Gang', released by Sacred Bones Records on February 11, 2018, the film features a collaboration between Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. 'Ant Head' presents an anthropomorphic figure with a cheese head infested by ants, evoking the unsettling imagery of Luis Buñuel's 'Un Chien Andalou' and Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'. The static character stands against a landscape with electric poles, passively enduring the ants' activity. The 'Thought Gang' project was conceived in the early 1990s but only now sees release, revealing esoteric jazz that mirrors the atmospheric quality of Lynch's filmography.
