Absurda (also titled Scissors) is a 2007 American short surrealist experimental horror film written, directed, shot, edited, produced, and scored by David Lynch. It consists of a single stationary shot of a cinema screen which shows nightmarish images as people in the cinema, voiced by uncredited and unknown actors, are heard discussing what they are seeing.

Absurda was shown at the Cannes Film Festival as an opening short to Wong Kar-wai's romantic drama film My Blueberry Nights, and was part of the anthology film To Each His Own Cinema, which was commissioned to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Cannes.
