Cat Video Fest 2026

Get ready for the most irresistible 70 minutes you’ll spend at the movies this year. CATVIDEOFEST 2026  brings the world’s funniest, cutest and most wonderfully chaotic cats to the big screen in an all-new collection of viral videos, original submissions, animations, music videos and internet classics. Curated by CatVideoFest creator and director  Will Braden  and presented by  Oscilloscope Laboratories , the annual event has become a nationwide movie-theater tradition — transforming the solitary experience of watching cat videos online into a communal celebration filled with laughter, cheering and plenty of “awwws.” The 2026 edition opened nationally in August and is once again proving to be a crowd-pleaser, with audience reactions calling it  “a hoot,” “the best possible way to spend an evening at the theater,”  and simply a great excuse to watch cats on a giant screen. Expect cats falling off furniture, squeezing themselves into impossible spaces, causing household mayhem, staring down their humans and generally demonstrating why they continue to rule the internet. But  CATVIDEOFEST  is more than just silly cat videos. The Sea View Theatre will be donating a portion of ticket proceeds benefiting cats and shelters on Orcas Island. Funny, wholesome, wonderfully ridiculous and perfect for cat lovers of all ages,  CATVIDEOFEST 2026  is proof that some things really are better on the big screen — especially cats. Now playing at Sea View: Friday, September 4 at 6pm; Saturday, September 5 at 4pm and 6pm; and Tuesday, September 8 at 6pm.
