The ..Golden Kitty - the festival's highest honour, chosen by cat film fans online - went to a surprisingly left-field contender:
Henri 2, Paw de Deux
While Henri is a US production, it borrows the breathless aesthetic of the nouvelle vague to bring us the existential crisis of a long haired housecat (pictured here) - proof positive of the high intellectual calibre of cat video lovers.

Shot in grainy black and white, to match its eponymous star's luxuriant coat, the film (see above link) is in - admittedly rather unconvincingly accented - French, with subtitles. Henri searches for meaning in his cosseted existence, wondering why he chooses to remain with his keepers when he is "free to go" before concluding: "We cannot escape ourselves." :cool: :cool:
...In other news, 'Keyboard cat' got a 'lifetime' achievement award :D
