Australia’s Very First International Cat Film Furstival to Be Held in Sydney
FINALLY.
Maru stuck in too-small cardboard boxes. Grumpy Cat being genuinely unable to help the shape of his own face. Lil Bub hangin' with Whoopi Goldberg. Sure, you could load all three of these superstars on your screen right now, but what if some know-your-freakin-audience genius decided they'd take things next level make an entire film festival of internet cat videos?
Celebrating their love of cats and videos of cats doing stupid, stupid things, RSCPA NSW are hosting the first ever International Internet Cat Film Furstival in Australia. Presented in conjunction with Minneapolis's Walker Art Centre, this why-hasn't-this-already-happened-here event stems from the globally-toured Internet Cat Video Festival. "Cats are the second most searched topic on the internet and millions of cat internet videos are shared around the world every day — think Colonel Meow, Grumpy Cat and many, many more. We have gathered the best of the best together and we want to share them with you under the stars," say the straight-up legendary RSCPA team.
Genius, I mean who doesn't want to watch a giant screen version of Maru screwing up again? And again. And again.
Or this little responsible-for-heart-explosion jerk:
Or whatever the hell this is:
From short films to six-second Vine videos, the screening will visit all your favourite feline celebrities and raise funds for the RSPCA. But the night won't just be sitting and pointing every time Grumpy Cat hates on life or Colonel Meow looks like the demon from the end of Fantasia. You can visit the 'Cattoo Parlour', nom on some tasty food truck treats or throw back some milk in the Cat's Meow Club (for a little extra kibble).
The RSPCA's International Cat Film Furstival is happening at Bicentennial Park, Glebe Foreshore on Sunday, October 5 from 6pm - 10pm (gates at 6, screening at 8).
These tickets are going to be snapped up fast, so get amongst it here — if not just to please Inception Cat.
Still. Terrifying.
