Film editor Thelma Schoonmaker is at the Seattle Art Museum presenting I Know Where I’m Going! (tonight) and The Red Shoes (tomorrow) both by her late husband Michael Powell. Tickets are $10 general admission, $7 for SAM members. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. both evenings.
I Know Where I’m Going! follows a young British woman with a regimented lifeplan that gets derailed after her visit to a small Scottish town, while The Red Shoes is known for having turned a generation of little girls into pretend ballerinas. Of the two, I’d go to the first, but you’ve only got about two hours, so step on it.
For a more intimate meet-up with Schoonmaker, stop in at Scarecrow Video at 2 p.m. tomorrow. It’s your chance to ask the three-time-Oscar winner if Marty will read your script (she’s edited a whole shelf of Martin Scorsese films, including Raging Bull, The Aviator, The Departed and the upcoming Shutter Island).
