Good news is that the issue has been fixed and both items are back on sale via Amazon, as well as other retailers. Get your collectors item today, the whole 69 minutes, including bonus features.

So far we are doing well on Rotten Tomatoes:
Fingers crossed the love we have been receiving from our audience and the critics keeps coming. Either way, that’s show-business. No work is perfect and you can’t please everyone, art is a subjective medium.
We shot Cats of Malta many moons and a whole pandemic ago. And now, on International Cat Day, we are thrilled to share our European release dates + territories.

Cats of Malta was selected to be part of UMW's European Originals series, which qualifies for direct support from the European Commission for technical and marketing expenses.
UMW will also be creating Spanish and French subtitles for the documentary and encoding has already begun. Expect more news about a Cats of Malta release date in very soon.

We’ve been working on a new poster for Cats of Malta in anticipation of its worldwide release this year. We commissioned Chris from The Robot Eye for the job and we are absolutely thrilled with not just the results, but the entire collaborative process. We can’t recommend The Robot Eye enough. In fact, Chris gave us a few different comps to choose from and they were all so good we couldn’t even settle on one design. So we went with two different posters, one for the US release (the dark blue) and one for the rest of the world. Check out our new posters below.
We are thrilled to announce Cats of Malta Film has been selected as one of the top films of the year at the 2022 Spotlight Documentary Film Awards, taking home a Gold Award — receiving the second highest scores from the panel. We are very much looking forward to finally releasing this documentary later this year so you can fall in love with these adorable cats like we did.
It was a pleasure to attend the New York Cat Festival at the stunning Village East by Angelika Cinema for a screening of the short version of Cats of Malta. Thank you so much to festival director Tracie Hotchner for inviting us and organsing such a fun event. Sarah Jayne took part in a Q&A after the screening and we were thrilled in chat about Cats of Malta and see the film on the big screen. Thank you also to Clara Francesca for the photos.
We also did an insightful podcast interview with Tracie. Listen here.
We had a truly amazing time at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival. It was a week of powerful documentaries, insightful filmmaker panels, fun networking drinks, charming hospitality, and of course the US premiere of Cats of Malta.
The screening of the film happened in the park on a Saturday afternoon. It was a special event hosted by the town mayor and featuring local cats as special guests on a Feline Parade … which went about as well as you would imagine, cats being cats …

Thank you to everyone at the festival for hosting us, John and Carol for welcoming us in their home, and everyone in the town who attended the screening and made sure we had a fantastic time.
MovieMaker Magazine rates Chagrin Documentary Film Festival as one of the Top 50 Festivals worth the entry fee. After speeding a week in the beautiful town of Chagrin Falls to experience the festival ourselves, it is easy to see why. It was an experience we won’t soon forget and we are super grateful.
Felines on Parade … sort of.

A couple of hours ago the 13th annual Chagrin Documentary Film Festival announced it’s line up. It was so thrilling to see Cats of Malta on the list amongst a selection of global films in the International Documentary section. This will be the films US premiere.
It’s been a while since we celebrated or even participated for that matter in large film festivals, (read about why here), but we are glad that Cats of Malta is the film to bring the love for festivals back for us. The family-friendly cat film is sure to lighten the mood, as documentaries are often discussing topical real life issues and social justice events. All we have to offer is a fun cat movie.
NPG can’t wait to get to Ohio, where we plan to visit or the whole festival and network with the audience and other filmmakers. The filmmakers will also be taking part in a 20 min Q&A after the film screens at 1pm on October 8th.
What we have to look forward to.
Cats of Malta will be sending New York City a big meow from Malta later this year — the family-friendly doco has been selected for NY Cat Film Festival!
A special 20 minute version Cats of Malta is screening as part of the 5th Annual New York Cat Film Festival in New York City on Sunday October 23rd at the Village East by Angelika theater.
We love the vibrancy of NYC and it’s a city that also supports stray cats.
Spread the world to your friends, family and felines in the Big Apple — Cats of Malta is coming.
