| •» The
Carsey-Wolf Center for Film, Television, and New Media |
Funded by Marcy Carsey and Dick Wolf |
| The
Carsey-Wolf Center will occupy
a donor-funded wing of a new academic building. Its public
film theater, production suite, archive, media labs, classrooms,
and meeting rooms will provide the arena for dynamic,
new curricula, public programming, film series, and residencies.
Already recognized by university and national awards for
their teaching and research, the faculty will bring new
programs and scholarship to the public as well as to their
students. The Carsey-Wolf Center
will provide an intellectual as well as a physical space
in which the university and the film and television industries
can interact through classes, research projects, and colloquia. |

| •» Pollock
Public Film Theater |
Funded by Dr. Joe and Helene Pollock and the Pollock Family |
| The
most prestigious and public naming opportunity besides
the Center itself, the Pollock Theater of the
Carsey-Wolf Center will provide
the space for year-round programming of a diverse array
of films and filmmakers from across the country and the
world. The heart of the Center, the Pollock Theater
will be a classroom by day and public theater at night
— a space in which students, industry, and community
come together. The new facility will be equipped to show
everything from early silent films to the latest in digital
filmmaking. The theater and its film programming will
give students and the public an opportunity to engage
a global film culture that is currently inaccessible to
them. |

| •» Production
Labs |
$1.5
Million |
| The
Production Labs will provide state-of-the-art
facilities that currently do not exist on the UCSB campus.
A unique feature of the UCSB undergraduate media experience
is that production training takes place only in the context
of a strong liberal arts education. Students learn to
make individual and crew films while pursuing an intensive
curriculum in media history, theory, and criticism. In
this context, the Production Labs will provide
our students the space and technology they need to pursue
creative, independent, experimental work. The new facility
will include a sound stage, animation room, and two demo/screening
rooms for small production classes. |

| •» Michael
Douglas Lobby and Reception Hall |
Funded by Michael Douglas ('68) |

and television industries. |

Terrace |
$1
Million |
| This
outdoor patio connects to the Douglas Lobby and the green
room. It will be a prominent gathering space for public

conversation. This 2000 square foot space will also include
a café, lending itself to casual interaction and
discussion before and after screenings. |
