Seward Community Winter Family Movie Series
There will be a SPECIAL FEATURE this week! We are going to show an Award Winning Animated Short Feature between our two movies. Tahlequah the Whale-A Dance of Grief is a true story that is going to be beautiful on the screen.
In the meantime, please like and share this post! We know that there are lots of Sewardites who don't use Facebook, so it would be awesome if you could let these folks know about what's happening (or help us find a way to share our movie announcements more widely!). Most importantly, please come and join us on Friday night. We promise the popcorn will only be $1!
6:00 PM — A Minecraft Movie (PG • 101 mins)

An animated short film that tells the true story of Tahlequah, an endangered Southern Resident orca. In 2018, Tahlequah, also known as J35, carried her deceased newborn calf on her head for 17 days while traveling over 1,000 miles in the Salish Sea. Her "tour of grief" garnered international attention and highlighted the plight of the critically endangered Southern Resident orca population.

Seward Community Winter Family Movie Series
We are off and running — two weeks under our belt and stoked to see so many of you coming out to the movies on Friday nights!
Seward has been bursting with cultural activity lately. Huge kudos to the students who pulled off the ambitious production of Two Noble Kinsmen — what a gift to our community! And a national-touring music group performing at the Alaska Sealife Center on Monday the 17th (I’ll be there!), to say nothing about ceramics classes, Sip-and-Paints, Family Fun Nights, and more, we’re staying creative, connected, and healthy during these long winter nights.
And since it’s already dark outside, what better place to be on a Friday night than the Rae Building Theater for a movie with your friends and neighbors?
Put our films on your calendar, share this post, and invite a friend — especially one who isn’t on social media!
