In Steven Spielberg's massive blockbuster, paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA.

Next Thursday, you won't want to miss Green Drinks! The Green Coalition will host a special presentation by Dr. David White, introducing Oaktober, a month-long celebration of our native oaks and a call to protect and regenerate the oak woodlands of the Ojai Valley. Dr. White, Director of Once upon a Watershed, will explore why oaks are keystone species, the challenges facing our aging and climate-stressed oak population, and how we can care for mature trees while establishing the next generation. The presentation will highlight the work of local students who have planted oaks for nearly 20 years and opportunities for the wider community to participate in oak regeneration this Oaktober. Come for the talk, stay for the free snacks and prizes. We gather at 5:30 in the gorgeous garden .

💔 They’re young. They’re in love. And they’re running out of time.

On Sunday, August 30, the Ojai Art Center Film Branch presents They Live by Night (1948), a hauntingly romantic film noir about two young lovers trying to escape a world that seems determined to pull them back in.

After escaping from prison, Bowie dreams of starting over. Then he meets Keechie, and for a brief moment, a different life seems possible. But with the law closing in and the past never far behind, their chance at happiness becomes increasingly fragile.

Directed by Nicholas Ray in his feature-film debut and starring Farley Granger and Cathy O’Donnell, They Live by Night brings tenderness and vulnerability to the dark world of film noir. Its influence is felt in generations of lovers-on-the-run movies that followed.

🖤 Crime, fate, and doomed romance
