Are You Looking For Some Friday Feline Film Fun?  

Here’s Kedi

 

Brian England's post yesterday inspired me to write this. In addition to Nina Hollander, I know there are many feline fans that can be found here on ActiveRain and in the real world as well.  

 

Kedi is a documentary. The film takes a look at a world I was previously unaware. It appears there are hundreds of thousands of cats that freely roam the streets of Istanbul.  This is a story of some of those cats. The film is not earth-shattering and may provide a catnap for some who are less than enthusiastic with the subject but I found it to be rather fun.  And isn’t that a good thing? For a Friday. For a film.

 

  

 

Happy Academy Award Weekend!

 

PS -- Kedi is not one of those films nominated Sunday.

Hi Michael Jacobs - I have been a kitty and cat person forever.  What a well done video!  I thoroughly enjoyed that mini film. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Our last kitty "Mittens" passed about 3 years ago at 21 years old.  She lived a good life. To this day, I am not ready to start fresh. I have her ashes and paw prints and of course her memory to put a smile on my face.

Michael,

I remember this film, when we were in Turkey having an all seafood lunch by the harbor, several cats stopped to visit us, and share the bounty with us.  Some of them were so beautiful.  A

Cats are so darn funny.  They can provide hours of entertainment.  I bet this was a fun film to watch.

Michael, thanks for the recommendation!  We are always looking for different and non-mainstream movies.  Looking forward to watching it. BTW, maybe if they had just called it "Cats", it might have garnered a nomination!

Hi Michael - That sounds interesting. I'll gather all of the furries around and check it out when it's available for home streaming. Have a great weekend!

As I mentioned yesterday, I've seen this. But I've bookmarked so I can go back and see it again. It's such a great story and I hope it wins.

Michael, having two older kitties, I probably would love this film.  Need to check it out.

Hi Michael- I'm definitely watching it again. And yes, providing some fun is not too much to ask and for some of us, very satisfying.

As long as it doesn't have an unhappy ending. And it's Istanbul right not Constantinople . . .

I adore cats.  I live with two of them - a brother and sister.  They couldn't be more unalike in personality.

Jane Chaulklin-Schott --- at less than 90 minutes, Kedi moves pretty quickly.  The preview in this post provides a good introduction to the "characters" in the documentary.   PS -- there are subtitles.

Joan Cox - I noticed that today when I was looking through my AR archived posts.   Remembering the movie reminds me of Turkey too and that's on my mind today too today.
