And it would seem that the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI)<\/strong> <\/a>would agree, with confirmation that they’ll be showing a 15-minute highlight reel of cat videos<\/strong> at their annual White Night festival<\/a> in Melbourne on February 20th.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the first ever Internet Cat Video Festival held at the Walker Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, back in 2012<\/strong>, ACMI is looking to benefit from the phenomena of \u2018cats caught on camera\u2019. The Walker Centre Festival drew more than 10,000 people to the event, with many a crazy cat lady among them no doubt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From cucumber inspired freak outs to down right rebellious behaviour, cat videos have well and truly taken over the Internet<\/strong>. With more than 2 million cat videos accumulating over 2 billion views,<\/strong> our performing pussycats can’t be too far off from their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For now though they’ll have to settle for a cameo appearance at White Night, a cultural festival incorporating everything from food, film, art and even some cool and curious cats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
