Or perhaps, to rediscover something lost. It’s all too easy to lose our keys or ID card or even what we’re passionate about. Small aspects of our lives and aspirations become buried over the years, hidden underneath the monotony of routine. So, it’s time to grab your shovel and dig. What exactly are we looking for? Well, hidden treasure of course. It’s time to dig under- neath the surface of the urban jungle and treat it for what it truly is: an adventure. We’re surrounded with beautiful gems just out of sight and untold stories just one more layer deep. They’re not easy to uncover, but the adventure is what makes buried treasure so fun to find. The captivating beauty of the bright city lights and miles of sandy shoreline are not all that this city offers. It’s time to diverge from PCH and forge a road not yet traveled. Google maps can’t take you where we’re going — only a hand-crafted treasure map can. Lucky for you, it’s in your hand. And what better guide than Indiana Jones? College is more than four years behind a desk; it’s a journey. So we might as well make it interesting. For this issue of Currents, we want to encourage you to discover or rediscover something you love, and maybe it’ll start with this magazine. We’d like to extend a special thanks to each of our contributors and for your wonderful dedication to the production of this magazine. Thank you to Houston Costa for bringing Indiana Jones to life, to Tim Nguyen for teaching us what we very much needed to know and to Elizabeth Smith for helping us with every bump along the way.

Broadway, Suite 600, Mail Stop 939 Los Angeles, CA 90015 Re: Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan Project Draft Environmental Impact Report SCH# 2019011053 Public parks are a safety valve of great cities and should be made accessible and attractive, where neither race nor creed nor color should be excluded….Give nature a chance to do her good work and nature will give every person a greater strength in health, strength and mental power. Griffith J. Griffith Dear Mr. Mundy, Friends of Griffith Park, the advocacy group for all of Griffith Park, has carefully reviewed the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan Project Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) released in December 2020. We have numerous concerns regarding the scope of the proposed project and the loss of Open Space that would result. Loss of Open Space / Connectivity The Zoo, although an independent city department, is located entirely within the boundaries of Griffith Park. It is not “zoo property” as claimed in several places throughout the DEIR. Friends deplores the DEIR’s description of open space as “underutilized and underdeveloped areas” (ES-3 and 2-30). Our Indigenous populations tread lightly on the land and had great respect and reverence for the native habitat; they did not consider it “underutilized.” Griffith J. Griffith, who donated the land to the city for a park, certainly knew the value of open space and nature. (Above quote) Los Angeles County designated Griffith Park a Significant Ecological Area (SEA) forming “an extensive, relatively undisturbed island of natural vegetation in an urbanized, metropolitan area.” This Open Space currently provides invaluable habitat for the native flora and fauna that call Griffith Park home.

  • Audit-2018-LA-Zoo.Pdf
    April 25, 2018 Honorable Eric Garcetti, Mayor Honorable Michael Feuer, City Attorney Honorable Members of the Los Angeles City Council Re: Review of the Zoo Department and GLAZA The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (Zoo) is an important cultural, educational and recreational institution of our City. To help the Zoo best realize its potential, my Office conducted a Review of the Governance Arrangement between the City’s Zoo Department and the not-for-profit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA). The Review includes recommendations for near-term and long-term changes to propel the Zoo forward. The Zoo’s mission is to serve Angelenos and visitors by creating a place for recreation and discovery, for inspiring an appreciation for wildlife through exhibitry and education, and for animal welfare. The mission also includes supporting programs that preserve biodiversity and conserve natural habitat. The Zoo has been nationally recognized for its achievement despite staffing shortages, infrastructure challenges and budget limitations. GLAZA, the independent not-for-profit corporation and official support organization of the Zoo, is made up of paid staff and a volunteer board that have been dedicated to managing membership, concessions, fundraising and marketing. The governance arrangement in which the City’s Zoo Department and GLAZA share responsibilities defined by an operating agreement and multiple Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), has become cumbersome, however, for all parties involved. The result has often led to confusion and difficulty in fully achieving accountability and transparency. In the near-term, steps should be taken to reduce the confusion and increase accountability. In the longer-term, it is time for the City to explore a new organizational model to make the Zoo the world class entity it can be - and that Angelenos deserve.

CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

The Project includes a conceptual land use and development plan that covers the main physical aspects of the Zoo, including animal conservation environments, visitor-serving uses, administration and service buildings, pedestrian circulation, infrastructure improvements, and the entry and access/parking. The Project would be consistent with regional and local plans, including the City General Plan and North Hollywood Community Plan. This section evaluates the consistency of the proposed Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens (Zoo) Vision Plan (Project) with existing plans and land use designations, including applicable goals, programs, and policies in the City of Los Angeles (City) General Plan, as well as regional plans and related planning policy documents. 3.11.1 Environmental Setting Regulatory Setting This section summarizes directly relevant state regulations and regional and local land use plans and procedures. There are no federal regulations that would apply to land use and planning of the Project and surrounding areas. Evaluation of the Project’s consistency with specific goals, policies, and requirements from relevant land use plans and regulations is provided below in Section 3.11.3, Environmental Impact Analysis, as well as within referenced EIR sections, including Section 3.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Section 3.15, Transportation.

Nourri de modernité euro- péenne, figure du cinéma américain indépendant dans les années 90, à l’instar d’un Jim Jarmush pour la décennie précédente, le cinéaste de Portland, Oregon est un authentique plasticien. Nous sommes heureux de montrer pour la première fois en France ses travaux de photographe et de peintre, et d’établir ainsi des correspon- dances avec ses films. Grand inventeur de dispositifs cinématographiques Elephant( , pour citer le plus connu de ses théorèmes), Gus Van Sant est aussi avide d’expériences commerciales, menées au cœur même de l’industrie (Prête-à-tout, Psychose, Will Hunting ou À la recherche de Forrester), et pour lesquelles il peut déployer toute sa plasticité d’auteur très américain, à la fois modeste et déterminé.

  • LA's Next Frontier
    LA’s Next Frontier: Capturing Opportunities for New Housing, Economic Growth, and Sustainable Development in LA River Communities The Taylor Yards Crossing Community Bridge, proposed by Studio Pali Fekete architects [SPF:a] 2 3 About Us The LABC Institute is a forward-thinking research and education organization dedicated to strengthening the sustainable economy of California, particularly the Southern California region. Founded in 2010, the LABC Institute provides a bridge between the business, government, environmental, labor and nonprofit communities of Southern California to develop policies and programs that promote investment, jobs and business development. We are the research and education arm of the Los Angeles Business Council, one of the most respected business advocacy organizations in Southern California. A Coordinated Approach The LABC Institute collaborates with diverse community stakeholders and world class institutions – USC, UCLA, CalTech and others – to conduct research leading to policies and programs that help build healthy communities. Our research focuses on environmental and sustainability best practices that also promote investment and economic development in Southern California. The results of our research influence a broad range of leaders – including governmental officials, business executives, journalists and directors of community-based organizations – who engage with our work in informal settings and at Institute-sponsored summits, conferences and forums that help shape the public policy agenda. Achieving Measureable Results The LABC Institute’s ground-breaking research on new energy policies has earned national recognition. Our innovative work on rooftop solar energy options led directly to the implementation of the Feed-in Tariff program, adopted in the spring of 2012 by the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

First the ear thing, now we use him to deflect what we’re actually getting at here. As a profoundly significant director, Van Sant needs none of my introductory flourishes, but what the hell? Even an aggressively edited version of this intro should mention Drugstore Cowboy (1989), My Own Private Idaho (1991), Good Will Hunting (1997), Elephant (2003) and Milk (2008). Given the poetic nature of his films, Van Sant should be accustomed to being called an artist, anyway.

  • Gus Van Sant (B. 1952, Louisville, Kentucky), Admired Internationally
    GUS VAN SANT Gus Van Sant (b. 1952, Louisville, Kentucky), admired internationally as a filmmaker, painter, photographer, and musician, received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence in 1975. Since that time his studio painting practice has moved in and out of the foreground of a multi-disciplinary career, becoming a priority again over recent years. Van Sant’s work in different mediums is united by a single overarching interest in portraying people on the fringes of society. Van Sant’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, Le Case d’Arte in Milan, Italy, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon in Eugene, among others. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions since the 1980s, presenting drawings, paintings, photographs, video works, and writing. Among Van Sant’s many internationally acclaimed feature films are Milk (2008); Elephant (2003); Good Will Hunting (1997); My Own Private Idaho (1991); and Drugstore Cowboy (1989). Van Sant lives and works in Los Angeles.

  • Potential Cinema: Closet Film in Twentieth-Century Fiction
    POTENTIAL CINEMA: CLOSET FILM IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY FICTION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Nicholas Tobin Roth January 2014 © 2014 Nicholas Tobin Roth POTENTIAL CINEMA: CLOSET FILM IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY FICTION Nicholas Tobin Roth, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 ABSTRACT: This dissertation lays the initial groundwork for theorizing closet film as a literary genre. Though closet drama––poetry written in playscript form––has received attention from a wide variety of critics in literary, performance and cultural studies, no such body of work exists for thinking about closet film––fiction written in the form of the screenplay. Aside from the self-published work of independent scholar Quimby Melton––with whom I have collaborated on his ongoing project to form an online bibliography of what he terms the closet screenplay–– there exists quite literally no field of study, nor any initial attempt to theorize the limits and potentialities of the genre. This project offers a theorization of closet film informed by the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben, especially his focus on potentiality, which I argue helps describe closet film’s tenuous stance toward production––closet film is a genre organized around the potential-not-to produce. Studying closet film also helps us rewrite the boundaries of what is considered possible in terms of literary and visual realism, and the “closet” itself constitutes an excellent new paradigm for understanding the space between film and the novel, opening up discussions of texts that have been largely overlooked or marginalized and enabling us to encounter old ones afresh.
