Submit A Film
Welcoming entries for the 9th Annual NY Cat Film Festival, premiering in New York City in October 2026, then traveling the USA and Canada throughout 2027.
Submissions are open for any style of film or video with a feline theme — documentaries, scripted films and animated films. This is a short film festival - 1 minute up to 20 minutes is preferred, but films up to 30 minutes will be considered. Films can have been made at any time and seen elsewhere.
The NY Cat Film Festival celebrates the mysterious cats who share our world and their relationships with people. The Festival is a way for those who admire and are fascinated by cats to see films made with an intention, concept or story to convey something essential about where cats fit into our human world — to honor cats and those who care about them.
This festival is philanthropic: a portion of every ticket sold goes to a local animal shelter in every city it visits.
