NIGHT TIDE, 1961, 84 min. Dir. Curtis Harrington. Sailor Johnny (Dennis Hopper) falls in love with sideshow mermaid, Mora (Linda Lawson). Is she related to the real thing? Shot in and around Santa Monica and Venice Beach in the beat culture's heyday, this poetic film brims with the atmosphere of bygone coffee houses and bongos on the shore. Preceded by the shorts: The Beat -- a look inside the Venice West coffeehouse; Tom Koester’s The Beat From Within: Reflections of a Beatnik -- a day in the life of a Venice beatnik. Plus: Authors Domenic Priore and Brian Chidester (Beatsville) present a one-hour slide show documenting the Beat Generation in the L.A. area between 1956 and 1966, via visuals of coffeehouses and jazz joints.
