With its sprawling metropolis,
celebrities, and its great prosperity,
California is, without a doubt, a
kingdom of contrasts, excess, and all
superlatives.
01.3
Clips of historical re-enactments
showing conquistadors, missionaries,
rancheros and gold seekers.
For four centuries, this land at the edge
of the world has attracted the most
fearless adventurers like a magnet, and
modern California is the image of these
extravagant landscapes and audacious
men and women who have made it their
home.

5 Interview : Mr. O’Dowd
Patrick O’Dowd 10:05:00F09
Chef Curator
Spain has been in California, Mexico, for
a long time. And the first praesidio was
down there in Baja California in Laredo.
And the Spanish came here with a plan in
their mind of how to settle, and there
were three vital ingredients to settlement,
for doing their colonies. And they were:
the mission, the praesidio and the pueblo.
O’Dowd (traduction française)
L’Espagne occupait depuis longtemps la
Californie et le Mexique ; c’est à Laredo
en Basssa Californie qu’a été érigé le
premier præsidio.
En matière de colonisation, les Espagnols
suivaient un plan précis, qui se
développait en trois étapes majeures : la
mission, le præsidio et le pueblo.
So they had a plan of the indies that had
been formed for a long time about
settlement, and this told about the
institutions and what they needed. So
there they were down with the Jesuits in
Mexico, in Laredo they built a praesidio
and things were going along and it’s a
country that is very very difficult.
Ainsi leur plan reposait-il sur la fondation
de différentes institutions , ayant chacune
leur fonction précise.
Au Mexique, c’est avec les Jésuites qu’ils
ont colonisé. Ils ont construit une
garnison à Laredo et les choses allaient
plutôt bien, même si c’était un territoire
très très difficile.
But as we got into the 18t h century, the
Spanish government learned that the
Russians were very interested in
California and they were working their
way down into the Pacific. And also,
there were the English, with captain
Cook, coming into the Pacific; and the
French, with Lapérouse. This whole area
was becoming very interesting for
European powers. And there were various
conflicts that were either driven from
difficulties in Europe or things that were
happening in the Pacific.
Mais au XVIIIe siècle, le gouvernement
espagnol apprend que les Russes
s’intéressent à la Californie et qu’ils
descendent vers le Sud sur la côte du
Pacifique. À leur tour, les Anglais,
arrivent dans le Pacifique avec le capitaine
Cook, puis les Français, avec Lapérouse,
et la région devient subitement très
intéressante pour les puissances
européennes. Les conflits déjà existants en
Europe se propagent jusque dans le
Pacifique.
So, eventually, when the Spanish learned
that the Russians were actually moving
downward and settling into California and
establishing bases there, the Spanish
decided that they had to go North. And
this is where they left Mexico, with some

In the spring of 1769, a Franciscan
priest, Father Junípero Serra, heads up a
holy expedition. And after months of
hell where half his group perishes,
Father Serra and Gaspar de Portolá,
California’s first governor, found their
first mission in July of the same year in
San Diego.

in the north, these missions formed a

to each other with a road known at the
time as the Camino Réal.

Brother Maurice 10:07:31f00
Several trades people came from Baja
California and they came along with
the Franciscans to teach all the people
the trades that they had to learn. So
the Franciscans, actually, had very
little to do except to teach Christianity
to the natives. They had no idea
whether the natives would be friendly
or unfriendly toward them. They had
no idea. So they planned on four
praesidios: San Diego, Santa Barbara,
Monterey and San Francisco. And
that’s where more soldiers were. There
were probably 20 to 30 soldiers at each
praesidio. If a mission ever got in
trouble, they were to send a soldier to
the nearest praesidio to help them. So
they really didn’t know if they would
be friendly or not.
Brother Moe
Beaucoup d’artisans, venus de Baja
California, accompagneront les
Franciscains afin d’enseigner aux
indigènes les métiers qu’ils devaient
apprendre. Ainsi, les Franciscains
avaient très peu à faire que de se
consacrer à l’évangélisation.
Cependant, comme on ne savait pas
très bien si les indigènes seraient
amicaux au non, on prit le parti de
construire quatre præsidios, ou
quatre garnisons si vous préférez, à
San Diego, Santa Barbara,
Monterey et San Francisco.
Chacune abritait de 20 à 30 soldats,
et si une mission avait des
difficultés, on envoyait un soldat au
præsidio le plus près pour demander
de l’aide ; mais, au départ, on avait
aucune idée s’ils serait amicaux ou
non.
But anytime Spain colonized any
country in the world, back in the 17
hundreds, they build these stations one
day’s walk apart. So you could go
from one to the other in a day’s time.
And that’s the way these 21 missions
were built.
Au cours des années 1700, chaque
fois que l’Espagne colonisait un
territoire, ils construisaient ces
stations de manière à ce qu’on
puisse voyager de l’une à l’autre
dans la même journée, et c’est ainsi
que ces 21missions ont été
construites.

Brother Maurice 10:12:09f22
There were no Franciscans here for at
least fifty to sixty years. Abraham
Lincoln became president and he was
president of the United States in 1865.
He gave the 21 California missions
back to the Catholic Church. And they
could take their choice: go to any
mission they wanted and some
missions became diocesans; some
missions became Franciscans; some
missions belonged to the State. And it
is still that way today. But they did
have to rebuild the mission as it was
originally. And all 21 missions are
pretty well along in being rebuilt on
the original foundations, just as they
were at the beginning.

Les Franciscains ont été absents de
la région durant pratiquement
soixante ans. Quand Abraham
Lincoln deviendra président des
États-Unis, en 1865, il rendra les
vingt et une missions à l’Église
catholique, et l’Église aura le choix
de reprendre et d’occuper celles
qu’elle veut. C’est ainsi que
certaines missions deviendront
diocésaines, d’autres Franciscaines
et que quelques unes resteront à
l’État. Et c’est encore comme ça
aujourd’hui.

At the time of its entry into the Union,
Californian society forms a social
pyramid where three groups of citizens
are brought together: the native Indian,
maginalized by white colonizers, the
Spanish, proudly draped in the nostalgia
for a secular empire that is breaking up;
and finally, the American, a bold,
optimistic adventurer, naively convinced
that California is the promised land that
is his by right.

to create, north of Yerba Buena, an
enormous domain called New
Switzerland
- And why this name? asks the
governor.
- Because I am Swiss and a republican,
replies Suter.

12 Interview : Levi Strauss
Joseph Casaletto 10:19:42f07
Guide
Levi Strauss came to San Francisco in
March of 1853, and he opened up is
store in Sacramento street, and there
were many stories about sail cloths and
other wonderful things which never
really happened. The reality was this:
Levi was selling fabric to tailors for
them to make clothes for the miners
initially and also selling all of the
dragger’s materials. It wasn’t until
1872 that actually, we were sought
going in the business of making
garments.
What happened was that in Reno,
Nevada, there was a tailor named Jacob
Davis who had a marvelous idea:
putting rivets on pants, to reinforce the
pockets. And he and Levi got together.
In May 20th of 1873, we got a patent
for the use of riveted pockets for pants.
And from that point, our whole future
changed.
The word denim, one of the most
popular derivations is this: that in the
city, in France, called Nîmes, n-i-m-e-s,
they were weaving a fabric. And the
fabric was called serge de Nîmes. And
from that we got the English word
denim.
Now, the other word, recent
affirmations tells us that in the seaport
of Genoa, in Italy, there actually was a
fabric, a couple of hundred years ago,
that was called Genes (Jean’s) and itwas
a combination of linen, cotton and, I
think, silk. And for some strange
reasons, by 1960’s, we now have denim
jeans which were two totally different

fabrics.
Mister Joe (traduction française)
Levi Strauss débarqua à San Francisco en
mars 1853 pour ouvrir une boutique dans
Sacramento Street. Et toutes ces histoires
de toile de tente recyclée en pantalons sont
de jolies légendes qui n’ont jamais existé.
La réalité est simple : Levi vendait toutes
sortes de produits, dont du tissu qui servait
aux tailleurs à fabriquer des vêtements
pour les mineurs et ce n’est pas avant
1872, que nous nous sommes impliqués
dans la fabrication de vêtements.
Ce qui s’est produit, c’est que Jacob
Davis, un tailleur de Reno, au Nevada,
avait eu la merveilleuse idée de renforcer
les poches de pantalons avec des rivets.
Lui et Levi se sont associés et le 20 mai
1873, nous avons obtenu le brevet
concernant l’usage de poches rivetées. À
partir de là, tout notre avenir s’est
transformé.
Le mot denim... L’explication la plus
plausible de l’origine du mot est la
suivante : dans la ville de Nîmes, en
France, il y aurait eu une fabrique
produisant un tissu qu’on appelait la serge
de Nîmes... d’où le mot anglais denim.
Quant à l’autre mot, des recherches
récentes nous apprennent que, dans le port
de Gênes, en Italie, on fabriquait, il y a
environ deux cents ans, un tissu nommé
Gênes prononcé Jean’s, qui était un
mélange de lin, de coton et de soie, je
crois. C’est ainsi que pour toutes sortes de
raisons est apparue l’expression denim
jean’s qui nous vient en fait de deux tissus
différents.

In Sacramento, the California State
Railroad Museum reminds visitors of the
historic context for the building of the
transcontinental railroad.
Narrator
The railroad companies’ demands push
engineers to design locomotives that will
become the zenith of technology. The
designers of the train cars use the
treasures of their imaginations to create
luxurious, refined interiors that a more
and more wealthy clientele demands.
They cross the continent in decors not
unlike those of the great hotels of the

Obscenely rich from the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, the four rail
magnates, Huntingdon, Hopkins,
Crocker and Stanford, set themselves up
on Nob Hill, in San Francisco, where
they build sumptuous mansions.
Their fortunate taste in architecture,
painting and luxury items contribute in
making the Bay area the most important
cultural centre of the American West
Coast.
Today, other than the stunning silhouette
of the Golden Gate Bridge, perhaps the
best symbol of California’s cultural

You can make films now with a

it’s made all budgets go much much
higher than they were originally. When
we did the Exorcist, which was a very
big film at that time, without having a
Computer Graphic in there - we were
still with visual effects - that’s called
« on set effects », that film cost 13M
dollars and the original budget was
about for 7M, so went over budget. But
you will take a film like Armageddon
which now cost 200M to make it, or
Titanic. You know, you couldn’t have
done Titanic fifteen years ago. But now
they can do all the visual effects with
Titanic and spend 200M and make a
billion dollars.

Silicon Valley got it’s name because
the semiconductor business, the
business of making computer chips,
literally was founded here in the late
1950’s. There’s nothing about this
area intrinsically. It is not like there is
more silicon here than there is
anywhere else, it’s just that the people
who started that industry liked living
here primarily because Stanford

CIO and president of Be-inc
When people say Silicon Valley is
new, I say, it’s true that it is perceived
as something new, something young,
but in fact it’s something that is
constantly being renewed. Because the
Gold Rush of 1849 also left a lot of
money there. On the one hand, the
Gold Rush helped Levi Strauss set-up
his business. But it also helped found
the University of Stanford. It’s money
from the Gold Rush that allowed for
the founding of this beautiful
university. Stanford then gave birth to
thinks like « leader Forest » in Palo
Alto; it created Hewlett Packard just
before the Second World War, in `38,
Hewlett Packard and Variant on land
leased from Stanford. After that, after
the war, there was the start of semiconductors boom with Intel. and even
before that with Fairchild, National
Semiconductors and then Intel. The
golden age. This second gold rush.
And now we find ourselves in a third
or fourth gold rush called the Web.
And between the two, there was the
personal computer gold rush.. If I
may say so, there’ve been many turns
of the karmic wheel in Silicon Valley.
I found absolutely fascinating that a
small place like that - because Silicon
Valley is not very big - there have
been so many innovations. For me it’s

from the sea.
Narrator
Faithful to the image of the Phœnix,
Hollywood moves relentlessly on,
creating new stars, weaving reality from
dreams, as if, having discovered that
legendary California never existed, the
film makers and adventurers themselves
invented its history, giving birth to its
golden Pacific shores.
