I Touch A Red Button Man

Overview

Originally premiered as a visual accompaniment during Interpol’s 2011 Coachella set, I Touch A Red Button Man is a surreal, starkly animated short film by David Lynch. Rendered primarily in high-contrast black-and-white, the narrative centers on a strange, unsettling figure who repeatedly presses a red button. With each mechanical press, bursts of red color disrupt the monochromatic visual field, gradually intensifying alongside the moody, atmospheric rhythms of Interpol’s "Lights".
