  • Los Angeles Times: Cameras to Keep Watch in Hollywood
    Los Angeles Times: Cameras to Keep Watch in Hollywood http://www.latimes.com/news/yahoo/la-me-watching28oct28,1,87494.story Cameras to Keep Watch in Hollywood By Jessica Garrison Times Staff Writer October 28, 2004 In a new step for crime fighting in Los Angeles, the Police Department plans to start installing surveillance cameras on city streets, beginning with Hollywood Boulevard. Five video cameras will train their electronic eyes on one of the world's most famous — and infamous — streets as early as January. And if all goes according to plan, there eventually will be 64 cameras on Hollywood, Santa Monica and Sunset boulevards and Western Avenue. The Hollywood-area cameras are the beginning what some city officials hope will be a wave of virtual law enforcement that will help the understaffed LAPD investigate and deter crime from the San Fernando Valley to South Los Angeles. Although the City Council and the Police Department have not yet devised a comprehensive approach, at least two council members have found money to begin installing cameras in their districts. On Wednesday, Councilman Eric Garcetti introduced a motion calling on the city to accept a donation to pay for the Hollywood cameras. The city is embarking on the effort with little public debate over which streets and neighborhoods warrant cameras, how the LAPD will find the personnel to watch the cameras, and how the city will ensure that the sophisticated devices are not used to peer into the homes of residents. Los Angeles already has some cameras observing public places, including MacArthur Park and selected graffiti hot spots, but these would be the first police-monitored cameras on city streets.

  • Runaway Film Production: a Critical History of Hollywood’S Outsourcing Discourse
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository RUNAWAY FILM PRODUCTION: A CRITICAL HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD’S OUTSOURCING DISCOURSE BY CAMILLE K. YALE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Professor James W. Hay Professor Steven G. Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Cameron R. McCarthy ABSTRACT Runaway production is a phrase commonly used by Hollywood film and television production labor to describe the outsourcing of production work to foreign locations. It is an issue that has been credited with siphoning tens of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs from the U.S. economy. Despite broad interest in runaway production by journalists, politicians, academics, and media labor interests, and despite its potential impact on hundreds of thousands—and perhaps millions—of workers in the U.S., there has been very little critical analysis of its historical development and function as a political and economic discourse. Through extensive archival research, this dissertation critically examines the history of runaway production, from its introduction in postwar Hollywood to its present use in describing the development of highly competitive television and film production industries in Canada. From a political economic perspective, I argue that the history of runaway production demonstrates how Hollywood’s multinational media corporations have leveraged production work to cultivate goodwill and industry-friendly trade policies across global media markets.

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.

    53 Oak Street, Suite 15 Hartford, CT 06106 Voice: 860-548-1661 Fax: 860-548-1783 Testimony Concerning: www.ctkidslink.org SB 592, An Act Establishing Tax Credits for Angel Investors HB 5843, An Act Concerning Entertainment Industry Tax Credits Shelley Geballe, JD, MPH Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee March 11, 2008 Dear Senator Daily, Representative Staples, and distinguished Members of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee: I am President of Connecticut Voices for Children, a research-based public education and advocacy organization that works statewide to promote the well-being of Connecticut’s children, youth and families. We submit this testimony because the manner in which Connecticut raises and spends its revenues is of great importance to the state’s children and families, just as it is to Connecticut’s businesses. SB 592, An Act Establishing Tax Credits for Angel Investors CT Voices opposes the enactment of any new business tax credits – including this proposed tax credits for angel investors” - until there is a comprehensive economic and fiscal assessment of all current business tax credits. This should include analysis not only of their individual return on investment but also their opportunity costs), repeal of those credits providing insufficient return on investment, adoption of clear standards for transparency and accountability, and a plan for periodic and independent review of tax credits against pre-defined and clear performance benchmarks.1 The goal of increasing entrepreneurial activity in the state is a worthy goal. However, CT Voices cannot support a new transferable credit against the personal income tax “equal to thirty percent of such investor’s cash investment” up to $125,000 absent some independent economic analysis of the need for and merit of this particular tax credit and its opportunity cost.
