CATVIDEOFEST 2026

CatVideoFest has been a huge international success since its North American launch in 2019, and this year marks its third Australian season. To date, it has raised more than USD$1 million to provide assistance for cats in need through partnerships with animal welfare organisations, charities and shelters. A portion of every cinema ticket sold is donated to an animal welfare charity of the exhibitor's choice.

Directed by U.S. filmmaker Will Braden, CatVideoFest is 73 minutes of the cutest, funniest and most heart-warming clips showing cats being utterly themselves. To select the best clips, Will watches between 13,000 to 15,000 each year to create the perfect feel-good cinema experience for animal lovers.
