SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: "Sunset and Alvarado"
DESCRIPTION:The film is titled “Sunset and Alvarado”\, a documentary produced by young filmmakers from Echo Park and neighboring areas that re-visits their neighborhoods amidst increasing gentrification. \nIn its early years (14 years ago) the Echo Park Film Center produced a documentary\, Sunset & Alvarado about its direct surroundings. Looking back at this 2002 VHS rip\, it goes without saying that the landscape has changed. \nThis Spring 2016 semester the EPFC Youth Class has revisited this intersection the Film Center calls home. The youth students set out to talk to people\, businesses\, the community and each other to discover the many histories that collide at this intersection and how people happen to find themselves on this particular corner in LA. As the class progressed\, we learned of more long-standing businesses suddenly closing\, moving and the new developments soon to be taking their place. The grief of seeing these business leave gets mixed with fun and rediscovery of the neighborhood as the students run through the aisles of Hit Bargain on its last days of business and their voices as they meditate on the meaning of change. \nMore information: \nhttp://www.echoparkfilmcenter.org/events/sunset-alvarado-epfc-spring-youth-class-screening/ \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/749768015160405/ \nThe documentary film is a product of a film production workshop with young filmmakers sponsored by the Echo Park Film Center\, a non-profit organization that has been curating regular screenings and organizing production classes for low income communities.

SUMMARY:CPSC – Jennie Chio – All Together Now: Ethnic Crowds and Vernacular Media in 'Minority' China
DESCRIPTION:Jennie Chio (Emory)\nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies \nCulture\, Power\, and Social Change (CPSC)\nCPSC is concerned with a broad range of issues in sociocultural anthropology. As the name of the group suggests\, they are particularly interested in how the workings of culture\, and of different forms of power and inequality\, play out in the contemporary world. And behind these two issues are questions of social change\, that is\, of the ways in which the rapidly changing world of today impacts people’s lives\, and in turn\, how people in different circumstances seek to bring about change in the world. CPSC I hosts talks by both in-house faculty members and visiting post-doctoral and faculty level scholars; CPSC II hosts talks by advanced graduate students. All CPSC events are open only to UCLA faculty\, students\, and invited guests. If you would like to be added to the mailing list\, email Hannah Appel at happel@ucla.edu.

SUMMARY:Housing 2.0: Reimagining the Housing System in Silicon Valley
DESCRIPTION:CREATIVE THINKERS\, DOERS & DISRUPTORS\, WELCOME TO HOUSING 2.0!\nFor too long\, Silicon Valley has been the most expensive place in the country to live.  Yet\, the problem has never been worse.  Everyone is struggling with the stratospheric cost of housing\, from our teachers\, baristas\, chefs\, social workers\, cashiers\, and artists to small business owners\, startups\, and engineers.  In other words\, everyone who helps make Silicon Valley the Global Center of Innovation. \nAt Housing 2.0\, we’re having a much-needed conversation: how to disrupt the housing system.  Because the existing system isn’t working. \nWe’re incredibly excited to have Kim-Mai Cutler (TechCrunch)\, Nate Donato-Weinstein (Silicon Valley Business Journal)\, and Rachael Myrow (KQED) moderate the “disruption huddles\,” and Ananya Roy (UCLA) as the “disruption” keynote.  Housing 2.0 also includes interactive features for participants to curate their own experience. \nJoin the movement May 19\, 2016 @ Housing 2.0 to Reimagine the Housing System in Silicon Valley!  Sign-in and lunch at food trucks (free with registration) begin at 11:00am.  Official program starts at 1pm.   \nLearn more and/or RSVP.
