The 2026 8th Annual Cat Film Festival with Opening Reception

A percentage of the proceeds from this event will directly benefit NISHA, our island’s amazing animal rescue nonprofit! Please join us for a cash bar/reception in the Harborview Room from 4-5pm. Lite snacks will be offered.

The film program will begin at 5pm in the main theater.

The 21 films in the 8th Annual NY Cat Film Festival were carefully picked from 70 films submitted from 14 countries in addition to the United States – Australia, Canada, Croatia, Ecuador, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Russian Federation, Taiwan, UAE, and Uzbekistan. Apparently, cats rule the world!

These chosen films make for a totally delightful experience for humans of all ages.
