TRAILER:
PROMO:
It’s 1949 in Central City – and it’s your typical come-to-the-cabaret evening at the Catabianca Club where an alluring émigré Princess sparkles with Cat and Chauffeur. However, darkness is descending via a dramatic blackout, the music stops and Cat is stolen.
‘CAT IS GONE!‘ screams the Princess and the headlines. Distraught, the Princess hires a Private Detective and their pursuit of the kidnapped feline leads them to all manner of paths and people….
Here are a few select stills to enjoy:
Described by the film-makers as ‘a stylish comedy of Noir, cats, hats, love and misunderstanding’ , THE BIG KITTY is certainly a film that is going to stimulate interest thanks to the work of the artistically-focused Australian film-making team of Lisa Barmby and Tom Alberts, two prestigious talents who have already made waves in their key fields.
Barmby lived in Paris for five years, becoming fluent in French and becoming the first Australian to graduate from Cours Florent, as well as acting in student films. Alberts is a painter with a long study of life drawing and did a portrait of the current Governor General of Australia when he was Chief of the Australian Army.
THE BIG KITTY forms part of an amazing and exciting programme that the Paris International Film Festival is putting together for its’ virtual edition, which features many new International and World Premieres, as well as forums and panels talking about all manner of key issues that are affecting the film industry and production world as the world continues to be challenged by the global pandemic.
Film And TV Now is proud to be an Official Partner of this year’s event and will continue to bring you all the key coverage before, during and after the Festival, so please come and join in the community, regardless of whether you have only ever seen one film in your life but want to get involved with the magic of creativity – or are somebody who has made films for years and has elevated to the realm of a top award winner and blockbuster director.
