Czech New Wave masterpiece THE CASSANDRA CAT (1963) returns to the Hollywood for House of Dreams no-kill cat shelter! All proceeds from this benefit screening go to their work caring for homeless and abandoned cats.
THE CASSANDRA CAT follows a small village after the arrival of a magical cat whose sunglasses reveal people's true natures and feelings. As the cat's revelatory powers cause the village to fall into chaos, a school teacher and his class protect the cat from authorities who want it silenced. Packed with color, originality, and a masterful example of the stylish Czech New Wave, THE CASSANDRA CAT is a joyful and powerful allegory for truth, fearlessness, and whimsy against repression.
About House of Dreams:
House of Dreams provides shelter and care for abandoned and homeless cats, with the goal of finding them permanent homes or providing them a lifetime home in our facility. We are a free-roam shelter, where resident cats can explore, mingle, or curl up in their own private space. And we are a no-kill shelter, which every healthy or treatable cat can call home for the rest of its life—or until it’s adopted into a loving home! We do not discriminate based on age or medical history (including geriatric and feline leukemia positive, or FeLV+ cats) and bring these special cats to House of Dreams, where they find friends (human and feline), enjoy regular meals, and obtain quality medical care. You can find out more at kittydreams.org.
