Lol rip first cat.
I would rush to help them rather then make a vid.
CatVideoFest 2010 edition.
Road to 10k sub.
February may be the shortest month of the year. But who would have expected it to be packed with film festivals? Even if you don’t consider the S. F. Independent Film Festival, there are four other film festivals happening this month. In those other festivals, you can see first-hand accounts of the Hong Kong democracy protests, a woman who dreams of opening a beer garden in Tehran, and even a new “Toy Story” short film.
That’s not to say February’s non-festival screenings are all filler. A highly acclaimed historical lesbian romance debuts this month. You can either get introduced to or return to a great humanist classic of world cinema that’s part of the Federico Fellini centennial film series. And there are three different places you can get your cat video fix with a roomful of like-minded folks.
February 1
Jane B. Par Agnes V.
Jane B. Par Agnes V. –Jane B. is iconic French actress, singer, and model Jane Birkin. Agnes V. is famed French New Wave director Agnes Varda. However, this documentary is not your typical celebrity portrait. Varda draws from recreations of works by the old masters and photographs from Birkin’s own life to create a film that purports to show everything about
Birkin yet also shows nothing. Part of SFMOMA’s Modern Cinema: Agnes Varda film series. ( SFMOMA)
February 1 & 26
La Strada –The Pacific Film Archive celebrates the centennial of renowned filmmaker Federico Fellini’s birth with the retrospective film series In Focus: Federico Fellini. This classic is a great place for newbies to start dipping into his work. The clownish Gelsomina (the great Giulietta Masina) and the brutish strongman Zampano (Anthony Quinn) are part of a traveling circus sideshow. Zampano continually treats Gelsomina as if she’s less than nothing. However, the young woman is slowly starting to realize her own self worth. The February 26 screening also features a lecture by film historian Russell Merritt. ( Pacific Film Archive) (NOTE: Can’t make either PFA screening? No worries. “La Strada” also opens Cinema Italia San Francisco’s Fellini 100 homage at the Castro Theatre on March 7. )
February 1-March 21
“Noosphere Motion Studies, ” a previously shown Peephole Cinema short
Ritualized Days –Your most unusual Broke-Ass Free Screening of the month is this short video presented by Peephole Cinema. For those who’ve never heard of this cinema collective, it shows free media-based works 24/7 through a dime-sized peephole located in a Mission District alley. This new short looks at the habits, rituals, and routines that make up people’s cycles of life. ( Peephole Cinema)
February 2-9
6th San Francisco Urban Film Festival –This film festival screens films utilizing the power of storytelling to spark discussions about urban issues and civic engagement. Included in the festival are Culture Of Resistance Versus Culture Vultures (Shorts program on the clash between using arts and culture to preserve communities versus the risks of commodifying culture), Be Water: Civil Disobedience and the Fight For Democracy In Hong Kong (evening of films, performances, and discussions regarding the Hong Kong democracy protests as seen through the viewpoints of the protesters themselves), and Urban Manufacturing: Nostalgia Or Necessity? (can maker spaces fill the vacuum left by the departure of a city’s manufacturing and maritime jobs? ). (Various venues including Yerba Buena Center for the Arts)
February 4
The Assistant –Your other Broke-Ass Free Screening of the month is this sneak preview of a #MeToo drama produced by James Schamus (“Brokeback Mountain”), who will take part in a post-film conversation. Jane (Julia Garner) believes she’s had it made. She’s landed a dream job as personal assistant to a powerful film industry mogul in the Harvey Weinstein mold. But her workday routine soon becomes a mix of mundane tasks and increasingly degrading requests. Jane’s decision to stand up and object to this treatment leads to her quickly discovering what sort of situation she’s really stepped into. Admission for this screening is First Come, First Served. ( Pacific Film Archive)
February 5
The Public Access Show With Adam Papagan –Public Access Television was the result of cable TV operators being ordered by the FCC to offer free production services and channel space to the community. The resulting programs could be classified as endearingly amateurish TV made locally. Papagan presents for your viewing pleasure a collection of lo-fi gems featuring crappy puppets, really bad TV hosts, and call-ins that spectacularly go off the rails. Some of these clips even come from Bay Area public access shows! ( Alamo Drafthouse)
February 7
The Traitor –Noted Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio dramatizes the real-life story of Tommaso Buscetta. This high-ranking Mafia don decided to leave the Cosa Nostra behind after new Mafia boss Toto Riina and his Corleone clan ruthlessly murder women and children. But when Buscetta gets extradited to Italy, he eventually decides to cooperate with Judge Salvatore Falcone and provides information for the prosecution of Mafia figures. What eventually becomes known as the Maxt Trials does result in convictions, but Riina is still running around free… ( Embarcadero Center Cinemas)

( Castro Theatre and other venues)
February 11
Blood And Black Lace –The ultra-violent thriller genre known as giallo had its first true masterpiece in this Mario Bava classic. The Christiana Haute Couture fashion house is already a nest of backstabbing, blackmail, and cocaine use. Now a mysterious maniac has targeted the house’s models and their boyfriends for death.

To a remote island off the Brittany coast, painter Marianne has been brought for an unusual portrait commision. A countess has hired her to paint a portrait of her daughter Heloise so her marriage to a Milanese nobleman can proceed. Unfortunately, the bride-to-be is not the sort to sit still for long hours for a portrait. To perform the job, Marianne will need to pose as Heloise’s companion and paint her from memory. But as the painter observes every behavioral intricacy of her subject so she can complete the commision, their covert professional relationship deepens into something more passionate. ( Embarcadero Center Cinemas)
What She Said: The Art Of Pauline Kael –Depending on who you talked to, for many years Pauline Kael was either the most admired or the most feared movie critic in America.

February 27
I Do Not Care If We Go Down In History As Barbarians

CatVideoFest, Detroit Film Theatre, Feb. 22-23.
Look — if you had one shot or one opportunity to watch 10, 000 cat videos a year, would you capture it? Or would you just let it slip, like a clumsy kitten miscalculating the distance between the bed and the dresser?
When it came to Will Braden, it was meow or never.
In 2012, Braden, a Seattle native, unsuspectedly found himself accepting an award in front of 13, 000 people gathered at CHS Field in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And not just any award, either. Braden scored the the Golden Kitty Award, the top prize awarded during the first annual Internet Cat Video Fest, which he won for his viral video series, Henri, le Chat Noir. The series follows Henri, a longhaired tuxedo cat filled with existential dread and endless ennui.
"The 15 hours I sleep have no effect, " Braden says in a French accent over black-and-white footage of Henri sprawled emotionless across the floor. "I wake to the same tedium. "
In the eight years since taking home the gold, Braden's winning opus, Paw de Deux, has amassed more than 10 million views on YouTube and, according to the Walker Art Center in Minnesota, the late film critic Roger Ebert had even dubbed Henri's video as "the best internet cat video ever made. " Henri has since happily retired from the spotlight, though he continues to ponder the meaninglessness of his existence. Meanwhile, Braden is celebrating the birth of his son and yet another year of carrying the fur-covered torch of what is now known as CatVideoFest: an event with more than nine lives.
"I watch over 10, 000 videos every year, " Braden says. "Finding them is the biggest trick because, like I said, I want to find ones that are surprising to people, but I also want to get in touch with the people that have made videos that have gone really viral and [have gotten] really popular because I do want people to see the beginning of the video and go, Oh, I know this one, " he says. "I've also learned how to say 'funny cat' in, like, 20 different languages because a lot of times people will upload a really great video to YouTube and would have gone viral, except that it's not searchable in English. So if you know how to say 'funny cat' in Romanian, you can find some really great gems that have like 200 views. It's a lot of work, but it's very fun. I haven't been burnt out yet on cat videos. "
When Braden made the first Henri video, he was a film student at the Seattle Film Institute. Later, he moved to Los Angeles, where he worked on independent films before returning home as a "camera for hire, " working with local nonprofits and fundraisers, as well as shooting video for weddings and local commercials.
After winning the coveted Golden Kitty Award, Braden landed a book deal, penning 2016's Henri, le Chat Noir: Reflections on Human Folly from a Feline Philosopher, and found himself assisting Internet Cat Video Fest organizer Katie Hill in curating the event's programing. Not only would Braden scour the internet for the cat videos, but he was also tasked with arranging them into categories and adding music to the segments, which he did for two years. In 2015, the Walker Arts Center decided to move on to other projects and so it began: CatVideoFest was born and, for Braden, a new career.
"So, the idea was that even though behind the scenes, everything had sort of changed over and I was now running it from top to bottom, the audience experience would be pretty much the same, " he says of the newer festival. "It's the same length. It has always had the same kind of DNA in terms of partnering with local shelters and raising money and the same kind of sensibility and sense of humor. It's just gotten a little bit more robust in terms of the production. "
As Braden says, the ethos of the touring festival is to give like-minded people an opportunity to make a difference, which is why the screening aligns itself with a cat welfare organization in each of the cities it visits. For the Detroit iteration, CatVideoFest will donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit the Michigan Humane Society.
"We literally never do a show unless we have a shelter or organization as a partner, and they have to directly financially benefit from every ticket sale and that'll never change, " he says. "And also, cat people are generous, anyway. "

While the core of the event is to raise awareness and funds for organizations that contribute to cat welfare, it's also about the cat-lover community and serves as a means to bring people that may not normally have a social connection to one another together.
Braden says CatVideoFest goers often use the event to swap cat photos, rescue stories, and share in their general adoration for our feline friends. The screening event will offer 80 minutes of cat videos ranging from America's Funniest Home Video -style footage to produced short film-style clips, like Braden's Henri series.
"How many things are there out there that you can take your 6-year-old daughter, your 60-year-old dad, and your neighbor, and everybody can equally enjoy it? " he says. "There aren't many things like that. "
One of the questions most people end up asking Braden is why there's not a Dog Video Fest. It's a fair question, considering dog fans are as, if not more, rabid in their love, support, and obsession of their canine companions. Though Braden says this type of screening event could work if it were centered on dogs, it would have to have a different tone. He jokes that we don't mind watching cats "get knocked down a notch, " whereas with dogs, we end up being more concerned than entertained, not knowing if they'll land on their feet as cats are expected to do in instances of clumsy overconfidence.
It might seem crazy that someone could love cats this much, so much so that they dedicate their lives to watching their every misstep and totally adorable encounter. Not unlike those "who rescued who? " paw print-shaped bumper stickers, CatVideoFest may have been saved by Braden, but Braden, too, has found his fur-ever home as its host.
"If I were just doing this as a hobby, watching like 30 to 50 cat videos every day, I think my wife might have a problem with it, " he says. "But the fact that it's part of this organization and part of my work and my livelihood, and I do get to sort of have a lot of fun with it, but I take it seriously, too. I try to remember that I can take it seriously, even if it's silly, as long as I don't take myself too seriously. My business cards still say 'I vet cat videos' on them, " he says. "I have to kind of laugh at the surreal nature of it all. "
CatVideoFest screenings begin at 2, 4:30, & 7 p. m. on Saturday, Feb. 22 and noon, 2:30 & 5 p. on Sun., Feb. 23 at the Detroit Film Theatre; 5200 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-961-000;. Tickets are $9. 50 and $7. 50 for seniors and DIA members.

For “ Dinner at a Movie, ” film critic Moira Macdonald and restaurant critic Bethany Jean Clement came together to review movie theaters that have real menus (note: Do not order a lobster roll at the cinema). Here, they are united by their love for something even better than the silver screen and eating: cats. In service to all like-minded humanity, they parked themselves on their respective couches to preview CatVideoFest 2020: a collection of home videos, animated films and shorts starring a diverse assortment of felines, curated by Seattle filmmaker Will Braden and screening in theaters nationwide as a fundraiser for cat charities. (It’ll screen in Seattle Feb. 22-23 at the SIFF Cinema Uptown; tickets are $14). Did they like it? Did their cats like it? Read on!
GREAT CATSPECTATIONS?
Moira’s cat, Miranda, came from Seattle Humane almost eight years ago. After seeing “Cats, ” Moira can’t unsee Miranda’s resemblance to Dame Judi Dench. (Moira Macdonald/ The Seattle Times)
Moira: Since we last wrote together, my friend, I have been to a dark place. I have seen things no one should see. I am no longer able to gaze at my cat without wondering whether she looks like Judi Dench. (She kind of does. ) I have wished Idris Elba had more clothes on. Yes, I have seen “Cats. ”
Bethany: Your review, though, was all beauty and light and hilarity! You suffer so that the rest of us may never, ever have to see cats wearing pants. I, seemingly alone in the world, actually detested the stage show, so I wasn’t in any danger …
Moira: You are wise. I’m still trying to figure out that pants thing. I felt like I had earned time lying around on the couch watching CatVideoFest 2020 and saying, “This is for WORK. ”
Bethany: I love that our jobs involve watching, say, a cat being dressed up as a taco (perfectly acceptable! A taco costume is not pants). But is it wrong that I had trepidation about 70 minutes of internet-sourced cat videos? I’m no mathematician, but cat videos don’t last long, and at the rate of one video per minute, that’s 70 entire cats. And some videos feature more than one! Nor am I an internet-cat-video rabbit-hole-goer-downer — I tend to like my cat videos like I like my cats: one at a time. Unless it’s a basket of kittens! Prior to viewing CatVideoFest, I got my heart set on a basket of kittens. Surely in an hour-plus, multiple kitten baskets would occur.
Moira: Excuse me, do you KNOW how long “Cats” was? About 10, 000 hours. Bring on the cat videos! (And the basket of kittens. Please. )
THE BEST OF CATVIDEOFEST 2020
Cat or throw pillow? A relaxed feline poses in a CatVideoFest 2020 video.
Moira: CatVideoFest 2020 contains no footage of my cat, Miranda, nor Bethany’s cat, TK, so it does not include the world’s greatest cats. But I did fall, badly, for a gray puffball kitten named Potato who kicks his hind legs like a rabbit, and who has met Nick Jonas.
Bethany: Potato! Paroxysms of cuteness! And also one of the longer segments in the fest, which come as a vast relief during an hour-plus of cat-vid action. And Potato’s story possesses a rags-to-riches plotline, even!
Moira: Potato is a local kitty adopted through Seattle Humane, whose staffer Bekah Sandy appears in the film. Seattle Humane is also where I got my cat! Please go there and adopt all the cats (and dogs).
Bethany: TK was a foundling, too: just a tiny little orange stripy thing abandoned by an apparently heartless monster out in the wintertime countryside. In the snow. People are the worst. Cats are the best!
Moira: I’m so glad she found you! Another longer and very sweet video in CatVideoFest was the story of Winston, a Brooklyn cat found on the sidewalk looking very sad and ill indeed. It was a joy to see him, once taken in and properly treated, looking clean and silky and happy.
Bethany: WINSTON. Winston deserves an Oscar. The incredibly nice person who rescued him, and whose video functions as a how-to for saving other down-on-their-luck kitties, deserves a Nobel Prize. I loved the human’s description of giving Winston a bath: “Let’s just say neither of us enjoyed it very much. ” If this video doesn’t make you cry, well, that’s weird.
Moira: I definitely teared up. The man’s name is Will Zweigart, and he is the founder of Flatbush Cats, a wonderful cat-rescue organization in Brooklyn.
Bethany: Zweigart said people around the neighborhood had seen Winston living on the street for weeks. No one tried to help until he did. Our hero! Now Winston lives a sleek, silky, handsome life with a lucky human. Adopt, don’t shop!
Moira: If you go to CatVideoFest, a portion of your ticket price will go to organizations that help cats, including PAWS. Other stars of the fest: the tiny black kitten who squeaked like a mouse, the cat who was a very good sport about shopping for Halloween costumes (ultimately emerging as a very dignified taco, sans pants), and Boris the Yoga Cat, who has a very good time jumping on his human friend when she does yoga.
Bethany: No spoilers here — and if you’re reading this, you’ve probably already witnessed it on the internet — but the super-nerdy, deadpan engineers explaining the physics of felines are tremendously funny and so clearly full of love for their kitties. Science with heart!
Moira: I actually had not seen that one before! Loved it, especially the term “aspect ratio drift. ”
Bethany: Did you catch the video with the cat shredding a newspaper, which happened to be The Seattle Times? Cat subscribers are real! They just can’t read.
Moira: My previous cat, Myrna Loy (now making kitty heaven a more glamorous place), used to love The Seattle Times — she would come bursting through it when I was sitting reading the paper.
Bethany: Cats! They’re funny!!!
LESS IMPRESSIVE CAT-EGORIES
Bethany: (Sorry about that — we’re trying very hard not to go overboard on the cat puns. But a few are FINE! )
Moira: CatVideoFest, though delightful, gets a bit repetitive. (Why does everyone in those home videos seem to have the same couch? ) Even I have my limits as to how many times I can watch a cat looking annoyed, or falling off something, or cutely emerging from a grocery bag. And while the video of Henri the Aloof French Cat Having an Existential Crisis is very funny, I feel like if you like cat videos, you’ve probably already seen it?
Bethany: Even I had. It’s still so good, though! All cats secretly speak French, I’m sure. But I’m very much with you on the surfeit of very brief, often blurry home videos here. Even as someone cursed with a long attention span, I required a break partway through. An intermission would be a good idea for the (PLEASE FORGIVE ME) the-CAT-rical release. People at the Uptown could have a glass of wine and some popcorn (a pairing we grew fond of during our less successful Dinner at a Movie outings) and show each other photos of their cats!
Moira: Agreed! Another complaint: Some of those blurry, short videos ended too abruptly. Why did we not find out what happened AFTER the kitty at the end knocked the TV over? Inquiring minds.
Bethany: And the internet is actually, literally made of these videos. Seek and ye shall instantaneously find a million of them!
A PAWS (SORRY! ) TO DISCUSS OUR OWN BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT CATS
Bethany: You won’t be able to take your cat to the Uptown to see CatVideoFest, but if TK is any indicator, that’s completely fine. She snoozed impassively in loaf formation throughout the majority of my home screening, then departed the room for a while, only returning when the soundtrack included some loud meowings, which caused her to verrrrry cautiously look around the room, her eyes gigantic. I felt kind of terrible. “TK! ” I said. “It’s OK! ” She didn’t listen.
With CatVideoFest coming to Seattle later this month, our writers watched and reviewed with their own cats on hand. Meet TK, Bethany Jean Clement’s feline friend.
Moira: A couple of weeks ago, when I had to get up early and write about the Oscar nominations, Miranda got up with me and INSISTED on sitting in my lap while I wrote it, even though she was in the way. But when I wanted her input on CatVideoFest, she was having none of it and wouldn’t even enter the room. So Miranda has no thoughts on CatVideoFest. Perhaps she was miffed that she wasn’t included.
Bethany: She should have been, for she is a creature of surpassing gorgeousness.
Moira: As is TK! CatVideoFest doesn’t know what it’s missing. We may need to curate a very small cat video festival of our own: ExquisiteFemaleOrangeCatsOwnedBySeattleLadyWritersFest. Submissions welcome!

Bethany: (We ran out of cat puns and then Googled “cat puns”: Do not try this at home. Some of them are so terrible, Moira said she had to go lie down. )
Moira: While there are definitely advantages to watching cat videos at home, if you go to the Uptown you’ll meet curator Will Braden (who will introduce all screenings) and can enjoy a DIY cat-toy station, cat swag from All The Best Pet Care and (Saturday only, from noon to 3 p. m. ) an appearance by local celebrity cat Klaus. And time spent in the company of fellow cat-lovers.
Bethany: And so many big-screen cats. Maybe thousands! Once I sort of started letting all the cats just wash over me, the cumulative effect became strangely moving. The wonder of cats improves our lives immensely — I loved the glimpses into the messy rooms and cat-love of people all over the world (though regular cat-video-watchers are already doubtlessly highly appreciative of this). And the cat-kindness advocacy segments should make even a dog person have feelings. If you love cats, you should probably see CatVideoFest. Still, NEEDS MOAR KITTEN BASKET.
Moira: I just Googled “basket of kittens” and everyone should do this, every day. In closing, thank you, CatVideoFest, for helping me erase the memory of “Cats. ” Wait, did I just say “memory”? Oh no …

Mary and The Witch's Flower is an action-packed film full of jaw-dropping imaginative worlds and ingenious characters in Studio Ponoc's first feature film. Directed by Academy Award-nominee Hiromasa Yonebayashi, animator on Studio Ghibli masterpieces Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo, and director of When Marnie Was There and The Secret World of Arrietty. A little girl named Mary finds a mysterious flower that can give her the power to become a witch for just one night. Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with her great-aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the nearby forest, where she discovers an old broomstick and the strange fly-by-night flower, a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven years and only in that forest. Together the flower and the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds, and far away to Endor College -- a school of magic run by headmistress Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee. But there are terrible things happening at the school, and when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her life to try to set things right. " Mary and the Witch’s Flower doesn’t just borrow elements from Ghibli, it feels like a complete continuation of the studio’s work. It’s a welcome relief for every animation fan who thought that particular era of Japanese animation had, after 30 years, quietly come to a close. " (Tasha Robinson, The Verge) We'll mostly be showing the English dubbed version featuring the voices of Ruby Barnhill and Academy Award-winners Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent, and we’ll have a few screenings of the Japanese language version with English subtitles.
