From Grumpy Cat to Lil Bub to an endless stream of super-shareable cat videos, felines have long dominated internet culture. But did you know you can feed your obsession with an annual event that takes the phenomenon to the next level — the silver screen?
CatVideoFest has been curated exclusively by Will Braden since 2016, and he says he watches around 15,000 cat videos to prepare the annual 75-minute presentation that plays in movie theaters around the country. His business card says simply, “I watch cat videos.”
CatVideoFest is playing in a few select theaters around town through next Wednesday. A portion of ticket sales will benefit animal-related nonprofits. You can find showtimes and more at catvideofest.com.
