About WIFFF
WHY WE DO IT
The Winnipeg International Feline Film Festival is an annual event presented by Cats Advocacy Team of Manitoba Inc.
â
The film festival raises funds for Cats MB's various education and community initiatives dedicated to their goal, which simply put is to ensure all cats in Manitoba have the chance at a happy and healthy life.
WHAT IS IT
The Winnipeg International Feline Film Festival is a film festival dedicated to celebrating everything about cats! Their kookiness, their companionship, their beauty, and why it's important that we all work together to help cats in need!
â
WIFFF also celebrates the life saving work that rescues do to help cats in Manitoba and across the world!
We screen films from all genres that are guaranteed to entertain and inform! Including animated, mystery, documentary, action, and more! If there's a cat in it we're interested! Stay tuned for more info on this years film selections!
The Winnipeg International Feline Film Festival strives to be a mostly a family friendly event, however as we accept films from across genres, not every film may be suitable or relatable for children. Documentaries often show the hard truth and sad reality of rescue work which may touch on themes of death, animal suffering, and trauma. At WIFFF we will ensure appropriate disclaimers are shown before films which some audiences may find hard to watch.
As an organization we strive to maintain a positive and uplifting atmosphere that celebrates cats and cat culture while balancing artistic freedom and expression.
ABOUT THE FILMS
Selected films will be announced in early May 2025!
Last years film festival raised almost $5,000 to help with education and cat saving initiatives. With that money Cats MB was able to sponsor spay and neuter clinics, assist in rescue operations, and launch education campaigns on the importance of getting cats fixed!
