Set in the shadow-drenched alleyways of Paris, A CAT IN PARIS is a warm and richly humerous love letter to classic noir films and to the city itself.

Dino is a pet cat that leads a double life: By day he lives with Zoe, a little mute girl. But at night he sneaks out the window to work with Nico - a slinky cat burglar with a big heart - as he evades captors and slips and swishes from rooftop to rooftop across the Paris skyline. When young Zoe decides to follow Dino on his nocturnal adventures and falls into the hands of Victor Costa, a blustery gangster,cat and burglar must team up to save her.

Join us for a Q&A with special guest DAVE JESTEADT, a film programmer specializing in animation and a producer of the English-language version of A CAT IN PARIS.
