Gary Indiana TV Takeover / Private Life of a Cat (1947) by Alexander Hammid & Maya Deren
“The Internet must feature a million cat videos. They’re always cute and cause a nice warm feeling to swell up inside us but quite often they’re also vaguely disgusting, showing cats doing unusual things as if they only exist to amuse us, interacting in funny ways with human artifacts, playing pianos, etc. — catsplotation, basically. This film by A. Hammid and Maya Deren shows cats being cats, and, for once, the dignity and grace of this animal isn’t overshadowed by a bunch of stunts.” – Gary Indiana
