The NY Dog Film Festival is a medley of short films – animated, documentary and narrative – from around the world. These entertaining and inspirational movies celebrate all the ways we love our dogs. At the same time, we want to raise awareness of the life-saving work being done at small rescues and large shelters. A portion of each ticket will be donated to the Humane Society of North Central Florida.

HNY Cat Film Festival NR
Sun, Mar 2 at 3:30 PM, Sat, Mar 8 at 1:00 PM
The NY Cat Film Festival™ is a film exploration of the fascinating felines who share our lives. These are not random internet “cat videos” – these are films made with an intention, concept or story conveying something essential about cats. Cats have a 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. We wish to shine the spotlight on these magnificent creatures and the humans devoted to them. A portion of each ticket will be donated to the Humane Society of North Central Florida.
