The city Arts Commission and 4Culture — King County’s cultural services agency — will screen three movies as part of a new Films @ the Train Depot! program.
The free films will be shown at 7 p.m. the second Saturday of the month at the historic train depot, 50 Rainier Blvd. N. The lineup is built around the theme Made in Washington.
The series launches Oct. 10 with “The Egg and I,” a 1947 comedy about a society girl whose new husband convinces her to move to the country and start a chicken farm.
The event includes a pre-film talk with Paula Becker, a staff historian for HistoryLink.org and an expert on the career of “The Egg and I” author Betty MacDonald.
The next free film will be the Nov. 14 screening of “Singles.” The 1992 film, written and directed by Cameron Crowe, stars Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick in a take about singles life in early ‘90s Seattle.
A screening of “Smoke Signals” will be Dec. 12. The 1998 film tells the story of two young American Indian men on a life journey.
