To conclude the semester-long Planet of the Apes retrospective, we will present a screening of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes, followed by a panel discussion “Secrets of the Planet of the Apes,” featuring James Chinlund (production designer), Eric Greene (Author, Planet of the Apes as American Myth: Race, Politics and Popular Culture), Judy Greer (“Cornelia”), Karin Konoval (“Maurice”), Amiah Miller (“Nova”), Terry Notary (movement choreographer and stunt choreographer), Aleks Paunovic (“Winter”), and more to be announced.

In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.
