Catfilm for Katy and Cynnie

Directed by Standish Lawder

Made for Intercat '73, Pola Chapelle's Cat Film Festival in New York. In the early 70's, a New York cat-lover and film-maker named Pola Chapelle produced a "Cat Film Fesitval:" which was shown in a large downtown NYC auditorium to an audience of more than a thousand cat-lovers. At the time, I lived with my wife Ursula and our daughters Katy and Cynnie, together with many, too many cats. I loved my family but not the cats. -SL. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2011.
