The 2016 Internet Cat Video Festival Comes To Rockland

Rockland, Maine - The Internet Cat Video Festival came to Rockland this weekend.  The Internet Cat Video Festival is the first offline celebration of online cat videos. The live event gathers fellow feline fanatics to watch a curated collection of cat clips—from six second Vine videos to short films and everything in between—in a social environment.


The Internet Cat Video Festival event emerged in 2012 from the Community Programs and Education Department (ECP) and Open Field, a platform of crowdsourced content in the spirit of collaboration and building community.  Catvidfest and its ongoing success have reinforced the Walker’s reputation for risk-taking, programmatic innovation and community partnership. Internet cat videos are doing all of the things compelling art should: raising questions, challenging assumptions, angering people, and—in the case of our festival—creating a real experience. We assumed when we were assembling the clips that people would be eager to see new videos, but in actuality the greater joy was sharing the experience of watching very familiar videos with each other.

Sponsored by the Kislak Foundation and honoring PAWS, an animal adoption center.
