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)
A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve.
8:00 PM - Tahlequah the Whale: A Dance of Grief (15 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.
8:30 PM — The Naked Gun (PG-13 • 85 mins)
Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr becomes a police officer like his legendary father and must save the police department from shutting down by solving a case.
Location: UAF Seward Marine Center — K.M. Rae Building (Railway & 3rd)
Doors Open: 5:30 PM
Admission: $1 (kids & students) | $2 (adults)

Support the Movie Series
Each movie night costs over $600 to host — licensing, equipment, utilities, and more. The Seward Winter Family Movie Series is 100% volunteer-run through the Seward Arts Council, and community support keeps it alive.
Donate or become a sponsor (and get your name on the BIG SCREEN!)
