Scarecrow Academy presents Women In Trouble: Great Melodrama in Film
Year Five of Scarecrow Academy brings an ambitious discussion series titled “Women in Trouble: Great Melodrama in Film,” an in-depth look at an often-derided, but frequently glorious genre sometimes called “women’s pictures.” In these ten weeks of free online conversations, we explore the way imaginative filmmakers have put women at the center of their hothouse creative universes. David Lynch refuses to describe his films, but has sometimes summed them up with the phrase “A Woman in Trouble.” In this series we’ll see how potent that situation can be.
Discussions are led by National Society of Film Critics member Robert Horton, author of the Seasoned Ticket column at the Scarecrow blog and Scarecrow’s “Historian-Programmer in Residence.” The Zoom sessions are free and open to all; there’s no homework, but we ask that you register online in advance. We’ll be meeting on Saturdays at 2 p.m., beginning March 4, 2023.
The Seasoned Ticket #222
Robert Horton is a Scarecrow board member and a longtime film critic. He will be contributing a series of “critic’s notes” to the Scarecrow blog—a chance to highlight worthy films playing locally and connecting them to the riches of Scarecrow’s collection.
Local Connections screening at SIFF, May 11-21
The 49th annual Seattle International Film Festival returns in person May 11–21, 2023 taking Seattle moviegoers on a cinematic odyssey at venues across the city, followed by a week of select films streaming on the SIFF Channel May 22–28.
There are plenty of amazing films to dig into (264 to be exact!), including selections with their roots in the Pacific Northwest film community. Plus SIFF’s Closing Night also features a film set in a video store!

LET’S GET PHYSICAL — with our MEDIA!
This year the annual GiveBIG event has added an extra day, because this collective fundraising effort helps so many local non-profit organizations stay in good health — and Scarecrow Video is one of them.
And now you can be physically fit with us while sporting our rad new t-shirt design, a special perk we are offering for all donations over $150 to our Spring Fund Drive (which just started with these two days of GiveBIG).
Created by Scarecrow’s own Wil Long, this 80’s workout design is inspired by the classic Jamie Lee Curtis/John Travolta film Perfect, and is available in two poppin’ colors. There’s never been a better time to be Pretty In Pink!
New Releases for May 2!
It’s New Release Tuesday! Tons of wild stuff from Vinegar Syndrome and friends, plus vintage vampires, Tom Brady, two (2) new Birdemics, and new Criterion 4K!
