DESCRIPTION:

A CELEBRATION FUNDRAISER FOR FELINE ADVOCACY:
THE CAT FILM FESTIVAL

The Cat Film Festival typically begins in New York City and tours the country yearly. This annual event brings cat lovers and filmmakers together to celebrate the unique relationship between humans and their feline companions. Through a series of curated short films, the festival showcases the charm, mystery, and joy that cats bring to people's lives, often exploring themes of rescue, adoption, and the everyday antics of cats.

Launched by Tracie Hotchner, the same advocate behind the Dog Film Festival, the Cat Film Festival aims to raise awareness about animal welfare, specifically promoting the adoption of shelter cats. The festival exists as a platform to highlight cats' beauty and diversity, their importance as companions, and the bonds they form with humans.

The event is typically held in the fall, often coinciding with the Dog Film Festival, making for a back-to-back celebration of pets. Screenings take place in various theaters around the city, with some proceeds benefiting local animal shelters and cat-related welfare organizations.

People can participate by attending the screenings to enjoy the films, meet like-minded cat lovers, and learn more about rescue organizations. Some events feature Q&A sessions with filmmakers and adoption opportunities for cats needing a home.

The Cat Film Festival celebrates feline culture through film, providing a fun and engaging way for people to support animal advocacy and appreciate cats' unique qualities. The festival is a beloved event for cat enthusiasts in New York City and beyond.

SUBMITTING A SHORT FILM

Filmmakers interested in submitting films to the Dog Film Festival can do so through the official festival website or film submission platforms like FilmFreeway, which are commonly used for film festivals. The submissions are generally open to various formats, including short films, documentaries, and animations, as long as they focus on dogs and the relationship between dogs and humans.
