The Carsey-Wolf Center

Funded by Marcy Carsey and Dick Wolf

The Carsey-Wolf Center’s public film theater, production suite, archive, media labs, classrooms, and meeting rooms provide the arena for dynamic new curricula, public programming, film series, and residencies. The Carsey-Wolf Center provides an intellectual as well as a physical space in which the university and the media industries can interact through classes, research projects, and colloquia.

Pollock Theater

Funded by Dr. Joseph and Helene Pollock and the Pollock Family

The prestigious Pollock Theater of the Carsey-Wolf Center offers space for programming of a diverse array of media and mediamakers from across the country and the world. The heart of the Center, the Pollock Theater is a classroom by day and a public theater at night – a space in which students, industry, and community come together. The facility features a sound system by Meyer Sound and video equipment supplied through a generous donation from Sony Corporation; it is equipped to show everything from early silent films to the latest in digital filmmaking. The theater and its film programming give students and the public an opportunity to engage a global film culture.

Michael Douglas Lobby and Reception Hall

This prestigious hall at the gateway of the Pollock Theater serves as an important public venue for receptions and special events, and a symbol of the Center’s place at the crossroads of the university, the public, and the media industries. This 2,000 square foot space also includes a café, lending itself to casual interaction and discussion before and after screenings.
