Join the Oceanside Public Library and Professor Garrett Chaffin-Quiray for a new movie series: Beyond the Badlands. This four-film journey will venture through harsh territories, from dusty main streets to the far reaches of space. Professor Chaffin-Quiray, a Professor of Cinema Studies at Palomar Community College, will present each screening by exploring the artistic and sociological character of the films and lead a discussion afterward. The series will take place in the Civic Center Library Community Room, at 330 N. Coast Highway in Oceanside.

The films are as follows:

• The Gunfighter (1950) on September 16 at 6:00 p.m.
• Forbidden Planet (1956) on October 7 at 6:00 p.m.
• Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) on November 18 at 6:00 p.m.
• High Plains Drifter (1973) on December 16 at 6:00 p.m.

No registration is required. Light refreshments will be provided.
