The theater and its film programming give students and citizens an opportunity to engage with world affairs by viewing and discussing the rich offerings of an international moving-image culture.
Hours of Operation
The Theater, a beautifully designed venue seating 300 people, is the realization of Joseph Pollock’s goal of having a public film theater on campus to enhance teaching and public viewing of new and archival films. The Theater will provide space for year-round programming, serving as a classroom by day and a public theater at night. It is equipped to show 16MM, 35MM, and most digital media. An extraordinary resource for UC Santa Barbara and the community, it is capable of providing facilities and support for screenings, conferences, and events.
