According to a release, “This live event gathers 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 event, now in its fourth year, will be hosted by Harvard Internet Law professor Jonathan Zittrain, who will provide insight on the importance of Internet cat videos. The festival will also feature representatives from the Gifford Cat Shelter and Boston’s Forgotten Felines.
Will Braden, creator of the popular online series Henri le Chat Noir and the festival’s first-ever winner of the Golden Kitty (People’s Choice) Award, will curate a selection of the videos for the festival. Henri le Chat Noir was so popular that it even gained the attention of renowned film critic Roger Ebert, who called Henri 2: Paw De Deux “the best Internet cat video ever made.’’

Attendees are not permitted to bring their own felines to the festival but are encouraged to dress in their favorite family-friendly cat outfits and enter the “catstume’’ contest. Tickets for the Internet Cat Video festival can be purchased on the Berklee Performance Center website.
