Malta

“Wants to do for Malta what Kedi did for Istanbul … The film is soft, fuzzy, and purr-inducing.”

Leslie Felperin, The Guardian

This documentary offers a fascinating, diverting portrait of the famous stray cats who live on the sunny island of Malta. Sarah Jayne’s winning blend of candid interviews with local cat feeders, artists, and volunteers shows the care that surrounds the local feline population. The scope of the film is wide, as the camera journeys through colourful cat colonies, cat cafes, and special cat parks and streets that have come to help define the island. More than just a film about cats, it’s also about the power of community and the peculiar strength found within the human-cat connection, as well as its curious effects on Maltese life and culture. Amusing, entertaining, and, yes, very, very cute.
