Movie Blog: 2015 Internet Cat Video Festival Coming To St. Paul

The Walker Art Center's beloved Internet Cat Video Festival is becoming something of a Minnesota summer tradition, and this year it's coming to St. Paul.

On Thursday, the Walker announced that the festival will be held on Aug. 12 in the new Saints stadium in Lowertown.

The festival, now in its fourth year, will once again feature a selection of videos programmed by Will Braden, the winner of the first Golden Kitty award for his pawing at French New Wave cinema with Henri, Paw de Deux.

Tickets for this year's festival will go on sale June 2. The museum has yet to name a price.

In past years, the festival was free whenever it screened on the grassy hill behind the Walker. But when it moved to the State Fair's Grandstand in 2013, festival-goers had to pay.

The festival started in 2012 as something of a lark, but it was so incredibly popular that it's since grown into an event, drawing huge crowds and spawning international tours of the program.

Last year, the video that won the Golden Kitty award was 8 Signs of Addiction.
