It’s cause for paws as CATVIDEO FEST 2026 claws its way onto cinema screens for a limited but limbered up time.
If you have not cat-ched up with it before, CatVideoFest is a joyous, communal cinema experience featuring the latest and greatest cat videos – from hilarious home footage and animations, viral sensations and unexpected feline stars. It’s purr-fect for cat lovers of all ages.
With a new film released into to cinemas each year, CatVideoFest is the fur-baby of filmmaker Will Braden and US indie distributor Oscilloscope Laboratories. But CatVideoFest is more than just a celebration of cats.
Since its North American launch in 2019, it has become a beloved, annual, worldwide event, raising more than $1Million USD in contributions for cats in need through partnerships with animal welfare organisations, charities, and shelters around the world, whilst also helping support adoptions, fostering, volunteer sign-ups and community engagement. CatVideoFest gives audiences the chance to laugh, cheer and collectively celebrate the cats who bring so much joy into our lives, while helping make a difference for cats in need. So you know that your ticket is helping to kick in the kitty for cat welfare.
CATVIDEOFEST 2026 is 73 minutes of categorical entertainment, a catalyst of comedy, drama and catastrophe, a catalogue of physical feline fun in a catenate of pussy antics for every Tom, Kit or Tabby.
Even though CATVIDEOFEST is made up of home made digital material, the programme is exclusively available in cinemas – it won’t be heading to digital platforms.
So slow down and move fast, don’t be the one that’s last, if you’re looking for fun, CAT VIDEOFEST is feline groovy. Pussies, we love you, feline groovy.
CatVideoFest 2026 screens nationally from 13–16 August
