Kuhn 's most recent short '' Möbius '' was the only American film to premiere in competition at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival as part of International Critics ' Week . It was described by staff writer Thomas Fouet as " a mastered teen-movie . " . Indiewire compared the film to the work of David Lynch , in that it " blends sweeping shots of the Northwestern terrain with the creeping sense that not all is what it seems " . Vice Magazine billed '' Möbius '' as a " Gothic Teen Romance ... Sparkling with death and magic . " During the film 's premiere , Kuhn published a diary of the experience for Filmmaker Magazine tracking a strange encounter he had with an Obsidian stone gifted outside Lynch 's suite . It was consequentially acquired by the Criterion Collectionand honored as part of the MoMA 's New Directors/New Films Festival
