American auteur David Lynch opens up about the magic of the cinema in this new profile from Stella McCartney. Created by Lynch's son Austin Lynch and fine artist Case Simmons, the creative duo behind Los Angles-based studio Tête-à-Tête, their film offers us a rare insight into Lynch behind the lens, teaching us about his theory of film as well as his lifelong pursuit of transcendental meditation.

This documentary shot by film students follows David Lynch on a 16-country tour of Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America to spread the word about the individual and global impact of meditation. Meditation, Creativity, Peace shows the director’s commitment to Transcendental Meditation as a way of changing the world, starting from within. The film also offers insight into Lynch’s creative process, through interviews and revealing moments from the tour. Note: Although David Lynch is the subject and a producer, the documentary does not credit a formal director and is best understood as a record of his tour rather than an authored film by Lynch.
