Cats of malta

malta
Directed by: Sarah Jayne

This award-winning documentary offers a fascinating, diverting portrait of the famous stray cats who live on the sunny island of Malta. With its winning blend of candid interviews with local cat feeders, artists and volunteers who look after the roaming felines, CATS is a journey through the colourful cat colonies, cat cafes, cat parks and streets that have come to help define the island. More than just a film about cats, it’s also about the power of community and the peculiar strength found within the human-cat connection, as well as its curious effects on Maltese life and culture. Amusing, entertaining, and, yes, occasionally very, very cute, even the esteemed newspaper The Guardian calls this very likeable documentary.

“Wants to do for Malta what _Kedi_ did for Istanbul … The film is soft, fuzzy, and purr-inducing.”

Leslie Felperin, The Guardian
