Climate change doesn't just threaten our planet; it also poses enormous challenges for older adults, say acclaimed artists Mary Lou Dauray and Orna Makleff. Inspired to take creative action and draw attention to this global problem, the two have created an artistic exhibition, "Aging People/Aging Planet," which runs now through June 21 at USC's Institute for Genetic Medicine Art Gallery at the Keck School of Medicine. "Our hope is that the show will inspire people to use art as a tool to teach the younger generation to express their concerns for this situation," Dauray said. "We want them to realize that everyone has the innate potential to creatively help our planet." The seed for the show was planted in 2003, after the most intense heat wave since 1540 swept Europe, leaving thousands of older adults dead. Horrified by the events, Dauray and Makleff began to research the connections between massive climate change and the health of the population most susceptible to it: the elderly. According to a recent report by the National Institutes of Health: "Elderly adults living in poverty or on limited fixed incomes may lack resources to pay for air conditioning during heat waves, they may live in substandard housing that leaves them more vulnerable to flooding and strong winds, or they may not have easy access to social services or to adequate transportation to evacuate when devastating weather events occur. In additional, functional and physiological limitations associated with aging could impede elderly people's ability to adapt." So what can be done? One solution to both substandard housing and the unique challenges to the elderly during natural disasters is universal design. This includes a set of principles that create safe and accessible environments and communities for people of all ages and abilities. Additionally, increased awareness by all ages of this population's potential vulnerability can go a long way in preventing unnecessary tragedy and hardship. Makleff and Dauray hope that their show will open eyes and hearts as well as start important discussions that don't just concern older adults but also include and empower them. Making all this possible is the transformative power of art: a force as universal as the weather itself. "Making art always been a way to learn, to see and to teach," Dauray said. "With this show, our hope is that our art will speak eloquently to a worldwide issue and potentially help effect real change." "Aging People/Aging Planet" runs through June 21 at USC's Institute for Genetic Medicine Art Gallery at the Keck School of Medicine (2250 Alcazar Street, CSC 240) in Los Angeles, CA.

Still, she is not only faced with a scheduled delivery she must meet asap, thugs checking-up on her (Johnny and Brown Bear), and being accountable to the kingpin of the operation (Gail), but what this lack of tuition money could mean for her aspiring career and in turn disappointing her family, who have high expectations of her.

Call Me Kuchu
Written & Directed by Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall
Followed by a Q&A with Katherine Fairfax Wright

About Call Me Kuchu
In an unmarked office at the end of a dirt track, veteran activist David Kato labors to repeal Uganda's homophobic laws and liberate his fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women, or "kuchus." But David's formidable task just became much more difficult. A new Anti-Homosexuality Bill proposes death for HIV-positive gay men, and prison for anyone who fails to turn in a known homosexual. Inspired by American evangelicals who have christened Uganda ground zero in their war on the homosexual agenda, the bill awaits debate in Uganda's Parliament.

While most religious leaders in Uganda support the Bill, one lone voice from the Church is willing to speak out against it: Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, a purple-robed sage who has been expelled from the Anglican Church of Uganda for his theological defense of Uganda's LGBT community. Armed with a PhD in human sexuality and a thorough understanding of Biblical scripture, this octogenarian doggedly continues his work to establish a kuchu counseling center and safe house in Kampala.

Meanwhile, local newspapers have begun outing kuchus with vicious fervor under headlines such as: HOMO TERROR! We Name and Shame Top Gays in the City.

David, Uganda's first openly gay man, is one of the few who dare to publicly protest state-sanctioned homophobia. Working with an idiosyncratic clan of fellow activists, David fights Uganda's government and tabloids in the courts, on television, and at the United Nations. Because, he insists, if we keep on hiding, they will say we're not here.

But one year into filming CALL ME KUCHU and just three weeks after a landmark legal victory, the unthinkable happens: David is brutally murdered in his home. His death sends shock waves around the world, and leaves the Bishop and Kampala's kuchus traumatized and seeking answers for a way forward. With unprecedented access, CALL ME KUCHU depicts the last year in the life of a courageous, quick-witted and steadfast man whose wisdom and achievements were not fully recognized until after his death, and whose memory has inspired a new generation of human rights advocates.

Directed by Aram Rappaport; Screenplay by Aram Rappaport and Max Barry; Produced by Cameron Lamb, Barrie M. Osborne, and Susan A. Stover

Followed by a Q&A with Aram Rappaport, Shiloh Fernandez, Amber Heard and Robert Hoffman.

About Syrup

Based on the best-selling book, SYRUP is an edgy comedy that exposes the cut-throat world of advertising through the eyes of a young prodigy chasing fame, fortune, and the woman of his dreams. Fresh out of school with a degree in marketing, Scat will do anything to prove that he has what it takes to swim with the rich and wildly successful. Scat comes up with a brilliant new product that gives new meaning to the old saying "sex sells." He is sure it will send him right to the top...if only he can convince his boss, the beautiful and mysterious "6," that it's an idea worth millions. Betrayed by his best friend "Sneaky Pete," Scat stumbles through an industry riddled with deception. As he begins to realize that fame and fortune have cost him his morality, he must rediscover his true self behind the elaborate image he has created or risk losing the love of his life. In a world where the average person sees over eight hundred ads in a single day, SYRUP takes a biting look at the insidious-and often ridiculous-side of advertising. Crackling with romance and humor, this razor-sharp satire leaves you guessing and laughing until the end.

The California Art Club presents its hallmark exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art for the very first time. This much-anticipated display of contemporary-traditional fine art spotlights nearly 200 never-before-seen works of art of genres ranging from quintessential California landscapes and seascapes to figures and still life. While the featured paintings and sculpture have been created using time-honored fine art techniques, they are modern in their messages, addressing wide-ranging issues from cultural diversity to environmental preservation and urbanization. The works were selected for inclusion by a jury that was comprised of representatives from prominent southern California museums, and included Kay Allen, Associate Director, USC Fisher Museum of Art; Ed Fosmire, Deputy Director, Laguna Art Museum; Selma Holo, Director, USC Fisher Museum of Art; Amy Scott, Curator of Visual Arts, Autry National Center; and Jean Stern, Executive Director, The Irvine Museum. The exhibition is unthemed to encourage the artists, who include nationally renowned painters and sculptors, to take risks and raise the bar with their art. The rich history of the Gold Medal Exhibition pays tribute to early Club members, who believed fellowship and education were important aspects of progressing as artists and building appreciation of traditional art forms. Among these pioneering artists was California Impressionist William Lees Judson, who founded the USC School of Fine Art in 1895. During the exhibition, the Club will offer a number of events and educational programs that will allow enable art enthusiasts to meet the participating artists and learn more about traditional art forms. These activities will include demonstrations, lectures, artist-led tours and Artists' Gala Reception on Saturday, June 1. Please visit the "Programs & Events" page for more information. All of the works are available for acquisition. The 102nd Annual Gold Medal Exhibition has been generously supported by Presenting Sponsor Majestic Realty Co.

The Gamble House is an outstanding example of American Arts and Crafts style architecture. The house and furnishings were designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter & Gamble Company. The house, a National Historic Landmark, is owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the University of Southern California and is open for public tours. Descended from Scottish and Irish ancestors, David Berry Gamble was a second-generation member of the Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati, and had retired from active work in 1895. With his wife, Mary Huggins Gamble, they began to spend winters in Pasadena, residing in the area's resort hotels. By 1907, the couple had decided to build a permanent home in Pasadena. In June of that year, they bought a lot on the short, private street, Westmoreland Place, passing up the more fashionable addresses on Orange Grove, known at that time as "Millionaires' Row."

The house remained in the Gamble family until 1966, when it was deeded to the city of Pasadena in a joint agreement with the University of Southern California School of Architecture.

TICKET PRICES: General admission: $50.00 - includes entertainment, touring of The Gamble House, and food & drink "tastings" (craft brews for those over 21, artisan sodas for the younger set); VIP Tickets: $75.00 - includes the above, plus preferred parking, a meal selection, two pints of craft brew, and a special look at areas of The Gamble House not open to general admission; Kids 12 and under (accompanied): $25 - includes general admission privileges; Family of Four (two kids 12 and under): $125; VIP Family of Four: $225 TICKETS/INFORMATION: 626-793-3334; www.GambleHouse.org; GambleHs@usc.edu

Much Ado About Nothing
Adapted for the Screen and Directed by Joss Whedon; Produced by Joss Whedon and Kai Cole

About Much Ado About Nothing
Leonato (Clark Gregg), the governor of Messina, is visited by his friend Don Pedro (Reed Diamond) who is returning from a victorious campaign against his rebellious brother Don John (Sean Maher). Accompanying Don Pedro are two of his officers: Benedick (Alexis Denisof) and Claudio (Fran Kranz). While in Messina, Claudio falls for Leonato's daughter Hero (Jillian Morgese), while Benedick verbally spars with Beatrice (Amy Acker), the governor's niece. The budding love between Claudio and Hero prompts Don Pedro to arrange with Leonato for a marriage.

In the days leading up to the ceremony, Don Pedro, with the help of Leonato, Claudio and Hero, attempts to sport with Benedick and Beatrice in an effort to trick the two into falling in love. Meanwhile, the villainous Don John, with the help of his allies: Conrade (Riki Lindhome) and Borachio (Spencer Treat Clark), plots against the happy couple, using his own form of trickery to try to destroy the marriage before it begins.

A series of comic and tragic events continue to keep the two couples from truly finding happiness, but then again perhaps love may prevail.

Hannah Arendt

Directed by Margarethe von Trotta; Screenplay by Pamela Katz, Margarethe von Trotta; Produced by Bettina Brokemper, Johannes Rexin

About Hannah Arendt

The sublime Barbara Sukowa reteams with director Margarethe von Trotta (Vision, Rosa Luxemburg) for her brilliant new biopic of influential German-Jewish philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt. Arendt's reporting on the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in The New Yorker-controversial both for her portrayal of Eichmann and the Jewish councils-introduced her now-famous concept of the "Banality of Evil." Using footage from the actual Eichmann trial and weaving a narrative that spans three countries, von Trotta beautifully turns the often invisible passion for thought into immersive, dramatic cinema. An Official Selection at the Toronto International and New York Jewish Film Festivals, Hannah Arendt also co-stars Klaus Pohl as philosopher Martin Heidegger, Nicolas Woodeson as New Yorker editor William Shawn, and two-time Oscar Nominee Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs) as novelist Mary McCarthy.

Outside the Box [Office], FEARnet, and ArieScope Pictures, invite you to a special premiere screening of

Holliston: Season Two
Created and Written by Adam Green; Directed by Adam Green and Sean Becker

Followed by a Q&A with Adam Green ("Adam", Series Creator/Writer/Director/Showrunner), Joe Lynch ("Joe", Executive Producer), Laura Ortiz ("Laura"), Sean Becker (Director of many episodes in Season 2), and Will Barratt (Series Cinematographer).

3 episodes from Season 2 will be shown (22 minutes each without commercials), followed by a Q&A.

About Holliston: Season Two
Created by celebrated genre filmmaker, Adam Green, who wrote and produced the upcoming Hatchet III, in theaters June 14th, stars Green and fellow real-life genre filmmaker Joe Lynch (Knights of Badassdom, Wrong Turn 2), as Adam and Joe, two aspiring horror filmmakers, dealing with the struggles of life, love, and career aspirations during the post-college period where nothing ever seems to work out like it should. With relatable storylines inspired by Green's own life experiences that mash-up traditional situational comedy plot lines with popular horror genre-themes and cartoonish violence, HOLLISTON was designed to fill a missing gap in situational television comedies and speak directly to genre-fans who can't typically find these types of themes or comedic sensibilities in the average sit-com. The fact that HOLLISTON is also drawing a fan base of mainstream comedy fans with its genuine heart and identifiable characters proves that genre fare can reach far beyond the horror fans and the much sought after Comic-Con crowd only.

The series also stars Laura Ortiz as Joe's longtime girlfriend and adorably demented artist; Corri English as Adam's confused and on-again/off-again childhood sweetheart; and heavy metal icons Dave Brockie as Oderus Urungus, Adam's twisted closet-dwelling imaginary friend and guardian angel, and Dee Snider as Lance Rockett, the delusional wannabe rockstar who runs the local cable station where Adam and Joe work.

Season two is loaded with appearances from genre stars such as Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw), Kane Hodder (Hatchet III), Sid Haig (The Lords of Salem), David Naughton (An American Werewolf In London), Danielle Harris (Halloween IV and V), Bailee Madison (Don't Be Afraid of the Dark), and James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy).

Cast members Adam Green, Joe Lynch, and Laura Ortiz will also be joined by Sean Becker who directed many of the episodes this season. Season two of the series, which was renewed for a second season after just two episodes had aired consists of 10-episodes, an increase of four episodes over Season One. A special one-hour long Christmas episode was also produced and aired this past December as a bridge between Seasons One and Two.

CANCELED
The CCG sponsors faculty exchanges among the schools to encourage collaboration and cultivation of joint research projects within the consortium. 

Laura Evans joined the Evans School faculty in 2004. She studies the politics of American federalism.  Dr. Evans explores the determinants of regional policy coordination and competition, with particular attention to institutional arrangements and racial and economic inequality.

Her recent book, Power from Powerlessness:  Tribal Governments, Institutional Niches, and American Federalism (2011, Oxford University Press), examines American Indian tribal governments’ relations with states, localities, and the federal government. Dr. Evans shows how American Indian tribal governments sometimes succeed, often against dim odds, in persuading state and local governments to address important tribal concerns.  She shows that even when opportunities for major federal policy change are limited, tribes have built particular types of supportive relationships—which she terms institutional niches—that help with cultivating political capacity.  She offers new ideas about the interplay of political institutions and the politics of marginalized groups.

Dr. Evans is writing a book on agenda-setting in suburbs, tentatively titled, Ailing Agendas, Fractured Frames?  Understanding (Un)Healthy Politics in America’s Suburbs.  She evaluates the frames that suburban officials deploy to justify policies of exclusion, efficiency, or equity.  She identifies uniquely suburban frames and agendas and their ramifications for American politics.  In several other articles, she has analyzed how state legislatures govern local affairs.  Also, she has begun new work on institutional change in federal Indian policy over the 20th century.

Dr. Evans was a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in Health Policy Research at Harvard University; a Brookings Research Fellow at the Brookings Institution; recipient of the 2012 award for Best Book on Race, Ethnicity, and Public Policy from the Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section of the American Political Science Association; and recipient of the 2006 Best Dissertation Award from the Urban Politics Section of the American Political Science Association.

Dr. Evans holds a Ph.D. in Political Science and a M.P.P. from the University of Michigan. She also holds a B.A. in political science from the University of California, Berkeley.
