Cats of Malta Premieres at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival

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.

Cats of Malta Part of the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival Official Selection

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.
