• The festival showcases various cat-themed videos from around the world

This week, in over 500 independent cinemas in the USA and Canada, the Cat Video Fest will be held, featuring a collection of 73 minutes of videos featuring cats. This festival, which has been running for eight years, showcases a variety of cat-themed videos—from funny to sentimental.

A portion of the ticket sales goes to support charitable organizations that focus on cat rescue. Since 2019, the festival has raised over 1 million dollars. The festival curator, Will Braden, spends a lot of time reviewing thousands of hours of cat videos to create this compilation.

Braden notes that the festival's goal is to showcase how diverse cat videos can be. It's not just "funny home videos," but also animations, music clips, and short documentary films. This year, the festival has expanded its geography, including countries like France, Spain, Japan, and Brazil.

Previous screenings have shown that the festival attracts a diverse audience ranging from children to seniors. Braden is confident that interest in cat videos will not diminish, and plans to continue organizing the festival in the coming years.
