About Scarecrow Video
Established in 1988 as an independent video store and transitioning into a non-profit in 2014, Scarecrow Video is committed to nurturing film literacy, ensuring full public access to the largest privately held video and physical media archive in the United States, advancing cultural and educational enrichment through community-based film programming, and supporting the arts capacity of civic groups, educational institutions, and nonprofits in the Puget Sound area.
Storytelling is at the heart of our ability to inspire empathy, and over a hundred years ago, we began using film to tell our cultural stories. Since then, it’s estimated that 90% of American films made before 1929 were destroyed in the transition to talkies, and half of all films made before 1950 are lost to time. We stand at a unique moment where we can learn from past mistakes and stem further losses brought on by changing technology and viewing habits. Scarecrow Video is committed not only to protecting the existing collection but also to safeguarding as many cinematic voices as possible from all walks of life. Scarecrow Video’s collection contains over three times the number of titles available through major streaming services combined and continues to grow by approximately 4,000 titles every year, making it unparalleled in its scope and accessibility. In no other place in the United States can the public access the diversity of voices and stories that can be experienced and discovered from around the world and across cultures.
“This is cinéaste heaven.” – Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy)
