DON’T MISS THESE ADORABLE FURRY FRIENDS!
2026 New York Cat and Dog Film Festival

The NY Cat Film Festival™ is an exploration through film of the fascinating felines who share our lives, creating a shared audience experience that inspires, educates and entertains.

Cats have their own unique and indescribable bond with people – even when living independently as community cats. For far too long, felines have been the “invisible” part of the human-animal bond, and it’s time to shine the spotlight on these magnificent creatures and the humans devoted to them.

A portion of every ticket at every destination of the Cat and Dog film festival goes to a local animal welfare non-profit, bringing community awareness and support for the needs of local kitties and puppies. The Film Society will donate 10% of ticket sales to the Brandywine Valley SPCA, our chosen benefactor.

The NY Dog Film Festival® is an annual philanthropic celebration of the love between dogs and their people.

The Festival is a two-hour medley of animated, documentary and narrative short films from around the world with a canine theme. The Festival premieres every year in New York City, then travels to theaters across the United States with 10% of every ticket benefiting a local dog rescue.

The 10th Annual NY Dog Film Festival (which premiered in New York City on October 26th 2025 and is now the country throughout 2026) features two prize-winning films in the Service Dog Salute category, sponsored by Purina Dog Chow, which provided cash prizes for these films about veterans whose lives have been positively impacted by the specially trained PTSD service dogs by their sides.
