“Man was created for the cat’s sake, and his only aim is to feed and comfort the cat. He invented a lot of things only for the cat’s profit. Fisherman, cushions, radiators and the radio, because cats love music.”
“I am glad to know why I am on earth.”
“So am I.”
– From Alain Resnais’ JE T’AIME, JE T’AIME

Featuring rare oddities and shorts, as well as a live introduction from Perlin before each film.
