"Quarantine Cat Film Festival" Aimed At Rescuing Closed Cinema Theaters

In days when the entertainment industry is shut down with a gloomy forecast on how and when we will all be able to go back to cinema theatres, this pawsome initiative could be the light at the end of the tunnel.

The 'Quarantine Cat Film Festival' will come to virtual theaters in the U.S. and Canada on Friday, June 19, and hopefully will provide the local movie theatres the much-needed revenues during this closure of over two months.

So where can we buy a ticket?

So, how will it work?

Moviegoers will purchase an online ticket on the participating theater's websites and will receive a link to watch a feature-length cat film on any streaming device they prefer. 50% of each ticket will go to the local theater.

Compiled exclusively from videos submitted by cat owners, the festival promises that the 70-minute long compilation will be the most purr-fect, a-meow-zing, and totally fur-tastic cat videos anyone has ever seen!
