NY Dog and Cat Film Festivals

NY Cat Film Festival Debuts & NY Dog Film Festival Returns!

   

NY Dog and Cat Film FestivalsFirst-ever NY Cat Film Festival will be presented on December 9, followed by 3rd Annual NY Dog Film Festival on December 10.

Both the popular NY Dog Film Festival and brand new NY Cat Film Festival grew out of pet wellness advocate Tracie Hotchner’s desire to expand her Radio Pet Lady Network’s outreach to educate the public about adoption, health issues, and philosophical aspects of the pets in our lives.

Presented at the SVA Theatre in Manhattan on December 9 and 10, these two exciting film festivals offer something for every cat and dog lover through a series of artfully curated films featuring dogs, cats, and the humans who love them. Some of the filmmakers are from New York, and some of the films take place in New York City.

The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals is pleased to be the beneficiary of this year’s festivals. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to the Alliance to support our lifesaving programs.

333 West 23rd Street (between 8th & 9th Avenues)

Debuting this year, the NY Cat Film Festival is the first carefully curated collection of films that celebrate our enchantment with cats. Exploring the fascinating felines who share our lives, this festival creates a shared audience experience that inspires, educates, and entertains. The featured films will enhance our appreciation and understanding of how cats share our world, while saluting those who work and volunteer on their behalf. All films are appropriate for everyone in the family.

3:00 p.m. Program 1: “Nobody Owns a Cat” (68 minutes)
4:30 p.m. Program 2: “Little Works of Art” (66 minutes)
