BEATNIK BEACH FILM NIGHT

Thursday, December 7, 2006    7:30 p.m. 'til 11 p.m.

Roxie Cinema, 3117 16th Street at Valencia, San Francisco

Authors Domenic Priore and Brian Chidester (Beatsville, Smile: The Story of 
Brian Wilson's Lost Masterpiece, Dumb Angel #4: All Summer Long) will present a 
unique one-hour slide show documenting the Beat Generation's long stretch 
over the Greater Los Angeles area between 1956 and 1966, via visuals of 
coffeehouses and Jazz joints from the Sunset Strip to Malibu, Venice and Newport Beach. 
 Legendary locations only heard about in books or in liner notes, from the 
Gas House and nearby Venice West, to the Unicorn and Shelly's Manne-Hole in 
Hollywood, the Lighthouse and Insomniac Cafe in Hermosa Beach, then all the way 
down to Cafe Frankenstein (owned, operated and painted by Burt Shonberg) in 
Laguna Beach.  Artists from John Altoon to Eric "Big Daddy" Nord gave these places 
a colourful splash, as did the wide variety of Folk singers and poets who 
performed on their stages.  Accompanying the slideshow will be a rare screening 
of Dirty Feet (1965), shot primarily at the Prison of Socrates coffeehouse in 
Balboa.  Special guests TBA and, there will be another short Beat film or two 
(including The Beat, a color one shot inside Venice West), plus a few new 
routines by San Francisco's own Devil-Ettes to jazz the room.
