About
The Seward Community Winter Family Movie Series is a not for profit activity sponsored by the Seward Arts Council, designed as a family friendly event to be held on Friday Nights during the winter months. AMore group of volunteers is raising money from businesses, individuals, and organizations in the Seward Community to put on two movies a week, on Friday Evenings between October and March, in a traditional theater setting at the UAF Rae building in downtown Seward at a very low cost.

We want to make a family friendly event designed to attract youth and young adults, as well as families and other members of the community.

As the series takes shape we'll update this description - if you're interested in helping or just making a suggestion about dates or movies, please leave a note on our message board here on Facebook. Donations or sponsorships can be directed to our series through the Seward Arts Council.

Most of you have already presumed this, but in the interest of public health, we have decided to cancel the movie nights for at least the next two weeks. We will not be open either Friday March 20th or Friday March 27th.
Please stay tuned here for further details as time passes.

It bears repeating that these are not normal times. Many of us areMore experiencing unheard of levels of stress and concern - both for our own health and for friends and families far away - especially those who are older and already experiencing health problems unrelated to the current crisis. These feelings are both natural and appropriate reactions to an unusual & challenging time we are having as a community.
We offer… More

There are only a few weeks until Spring Break. Fur Rondy starts this weekend, and the Iditarod starts theMore following Saturday (and the Junior Iditarod with Sam Paperman representing Seward starts This Saturday from Knik Lake). The weather is good, the light is coming back quickly, and despite all the problems in the world life is still pretty great here on Resurrection Bay. Even though it doesn't get dark until almost 8 these days, we still think it's a good idea for you to join us for a movie this Friday night. We're proud to bring a movie that SO MANY little kids have been asking for… More

Well we all knew it had to happen - The other day the Gulf of Alaska won the battle of the fronts against theMore interior and it appears that we are back in the usual cycle of winter low pressure, rain, and ice here in Seward. The skiing may not be so great for the next week or so - but there is still a lot of winter left - and in the meantime it provides a great opportunity to come out to a movie this Friday night with your friends and neighbors....and we have two movies that we have been waiting for this week - some of us since our childhood!
This Friday February 21st at the movies....

Last week in the news, an elementary school in California was charged $500 for showing a movie as aMore fundraiser without a license. We are proud to be able to say that we are 100% legal and pay 'Hollywood' their licensing fees to show movies each week. Some movies are more expensive than others - and this week is a good example. Our second movie licensing fee is $350 - which means we REALLY want to fill the house and maybe even ask for some extra donations at the door. We think it's worthy of some extra dollars - and we ask you to share the details with your family and friends -… More

It was a great to see so many new faces last Friday night - We'reMore glad so many of you came out to see some movies that are different than what we usually show. We get a lot of requests to show specific movies - and it was a few of those ideas that were the genesis for the outdoor themed night - if you have an idea let us know - you can post on our page or send us a message here or at sewardalaskamovies@gmail.com
For this week, we're returning to what most of you expect - new popular movies - and we have a few that look like great entertainment for… More

It's just a few more hours until our 'Local Outdoor Themed Movie Night' starts - and even though the weather is pretty nice, we're certain that it will be dark by the time we start at 6 PM. Please look back atMore our other posts earlier this week for more information about the first few movies - but we wanted to share a bit more about some of the other shorts we will be showing tonight...

Most Sewardites know there are a few hearty (and a little bit crazy) souls who have been surfing in Resurrection Bay. It turns out that there are a few folks who have taken 'cold water surfing' to the extreme and have traveled as far as Kamchatka, the Aleutian Islands, and Scandanavia seeking the perfect… More

We have been hearing a lot of buzz about our movies this week - which is GREAT - and we wanted to share a bit more information about them to get everyone more psyched!
Did you know that Seward has yet anotherMore tie-in to a world class Athlete? Sierra Anderson is Margaret Anderson's Granddaughter and one of the USA's leaders in Women's Ski-Mo racing! Talk about an extreme sport! Click on the link below that is about the premiere of this movie last fall. You'll have a chance to see "Sisters of Ski-Mo" at 6 PM Friday at the Rae building in downtown Seward ... be inspired!
And talking about extreme sports - We all know about the Mt.… More

Wow - Seward sure has been blessed with some wonderful winter weather the past several weeks. Even though it has been cold, we hope that you've had a chance to get outside and play! 120+ skiers from acrossMore Southcentral participated in the Seward High Invitational ski meet on Saturday and word has it that there is some skating to be had on 2nd Lake, sledding is great at Seward El, and the skiing is cold but fast at mile 12 and Exit Glacier! After all - we don't live here for the movies - we live here to pretend we are in the movies!
With the days getting longer every day - we wanted to take advantage of a slow time for new movies and try something new. We'll be showing five shorter movies this… More

Another week of great weather and a wonderful weekendMore where we showed off our great community and raised tens of thousands of dollars to help fight Cancer with the 35th Annual Seward Polar Bear Jump that went off without a hitch - despite the seasonal weather some of us have been pining for these past few winters.
Kids are deep into their 3rd quarter classes at school, and we're all eyeing Spring Break for a change - but in the mean time we hope you can join us this weekend for some great new movies - and please help us spread the word by… More

These past few weeks have been a great reminder of Alaskan winters that we haven't seen in a few years. The cold snap has seemed unusual until you realize where we live!

Another unusual thing we have run intoMore is a lack of groups wanting to fundraise at the movies by operating the concessions. If you participate in a local group that needs funds for its charitable purpose, send us a message and we will let you know how you can sign up. There are a whole bunch of 'open' nights this spring - including this week - and we would love to help you raise money for our community's needs at the same time you're helping everyone enjoy the movies with popcorn and snacks!

This weekend is also the Polar… More

They always say hindsight is 20/20 - so because we couldn't find anything new available to show this week, we decided to go RETRO and bring back a few movies that most of us have seen before (some of us manyMore times) and are still worthy of a Friday night!
We are about halfway through the series this winter, and things are going really well - but we do need some help. Each week, we need 2-4 volunteers to help work the door and clean up after the movies. We post a 'signupgenius' link each week, and it would be really great for our stress levels if some of you would sign up to help out with these jobs. An hour of time means a successful series, a full heart, and a full belly with the pizza you'll… More

We hope that everyone had a great Christmas and now its time to remind all of our friends and family to be safe this New Year's Eve. It looks like the weather won't help our road conditions - but there isMore always the chance of a holiday miracle that brings Alaska weather back to Seward!
In the mean time, as we welcome back our friends and neighbors from their holiday trips outside visiting friends, families, and beaches across the world - please share this post and remind them that we are having movies this Friday and we're always hoping for a crowd! This week we have a great inspirational PG movie for kids and families and then the 9th movie by Quentin Tarantino that is most definitely not… More

Seward is a bit quieter and moreMore peaceful than usual. The Holiday lights are strung up everywhere and you can catch a glimpse of Christmas trees in many homes. Kids everywhere are on their best behavior and the snow has blanketed and quieted the landscape. Life is Good.
The Volunteers who put on the movie series wish all of Seward and Moose Pass a Merry Christmas - Happy Hannukah - Joyous Kwanza - and a VERY HAPPY and Prosperous New Year!
We hope you'll have recovered enough from your holiday meals to come and spend part of… More

Well who ever is doing the rain dance, will you PLEASE STOP! It's hard to remember that it is December when the weather is so October!

We have a great kids movie and a scary movie for the older crowd this Friday night - so we hope you will decide to spend some time with your friends and neighbors this Friday night! Let's all enjoy a movie!

When we first started this series, the biggestMore problem we had was the sound in the theater. After a few years, we were able to raise enough funds to buy and install a new sound system. If you haven't heard it, this week, may be the week to check it out!
This week we are showing an older movie that gets as many pop-culture references as any - and it has a soundtrack that needed our new sound system to be true to the original. Even though most of you have already seen our second movie - if you're a fan of Pink Floyd - or music in general,… More
