On October 1st from 7-9 p.m. in Pollock Theatre, to kick off its Special Effects series, the Carsey-Wolf Center will screen George Miller’s award-winning Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). With its unflinching portrayal of destructive patriarchy and female-led resistance, Fury Road has been acclaimed as a modern feminist action epic. Kristen Whissel (Film and Media, UC Berkeley) will join Patrice Petro, the Director of the Carsey-Wolf Center, for a post-screening discussion.
