Hey Everyone,

I'm trying to find info on who owns the rights to Eraserhead and how to contact them. Alas, google is failing me. Would any of you fine people happen to know who I can contact?

Thanks!

I've been told Lynch holds the rights, not sure how to get ahold of him.

So you're telling me you and David aren't best buddies!?

I've heard this too. About 5 or 6 years ago, one of the theaters I was at
was running David Lynch festival. I remember my boss had a difficult time
with "Eraserhead" because we wanted 35mm and apparantly Mr Lynch did did not
think there were any more acceptable 35mm prints of it available at that time.
Despite my bosses' efforts, I think we wound up running a blu-ray, if I recall.

Janus Films:

booking@janusfilms.com. They have a fairly new 35mm print.
