Museum of Ventura County — Archival Exquisite Corpse Project + “Hard Day’s Night” discussion with Ivor Davis

“The choice of August 27th for this film is very fortuitous because on exactly on that date 55 years ago, I went with the Beatles to visit Elvis Presley–in a historic get together that didn’t quite go as everyone had hoped. One of the reasons was that Elvis was jealous that “A Hard Day’s Night” was a box office smash hit! And his films were not.”

“So, I think we’ll have some lively fun that night!”

Please note that the trailer and a clip from the film will be shown. The film in its entirety can be rented on Amazon Prime for $2.99 —$3.99.

John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940–July 17, 2020)

was a giant in the civil rights movement whose wisdom, courage, and moral clarity earned him the nickname “the conscience of the Congress” during his 17 terms as a representative of Georgia’s fifth congressional district. As we reflect on a life spent in service of the ideals of democracy, his actions and words continue to resonate and inspire the work to make America better—to make a more perfect union.
