The Other Worlds Film Series concludes at the Harry Ransom Center with Stardust (2007) on Monday, December 7, at 7 p.m.

Stardust tells the story of Tristan, who ventures into a magical kingdom to retrieve a fallen star for his beloved, only to find he's one of many who seek the star. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the film stars Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ricky Gervais, Rupert Everett, and Robert De Niro, whose archive is housed at the Ransom Center.

Seating is free, but limited.

This screening complements the Ransom Center's exhibition Other Worlds: Rare Astronomical Works. Discover "other worlds" and the changing notions of the solar system, the moon, and the planets over the centuries. In conjunction with the International Year of Astronomy in 2009, this exhibition, drawn from the Center's collections, showcases important astronomical discoveries of the last 500 years. The exhibition is on display through January 3, 2010.
