Event Details

Watch the Film "The Cats of Mirikitani" and Hear Director Linda Hattendorf Discuss the Making of the Film on November 25th, 2011 at 8 p.m.

Join the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library in a celebration of art and the human spirit as the KVML proudly presents an Indianapolis showing of the award winning film The Cats of Mirikitani and a discussion with the film’s director on November 25th, 2011, at the Athenaeum Theater.

 The film, an official selection at over 75 film festivals, follows the journey of Japanese American artist Jimmy Mirikitani from the perspective of the film maker, Linda Hattendorf, who opens her apartment to the homeless artist after the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attack on New York.  The film is a wonderful blend of beauty, humor, tragedy, and loss. Mirikitani’s experiences allow for an intimate exploration of the lingering wounds of war—and the healing power of art. The Cats of Mirikitani is a heartwarming affirmation of humanity that will appeal to all lovers of peace, art, and cats.

 The film will be shown on November 25th at the Athenaeum Theater, located at 401 East Michigan Street, Indianapolis, IN. From 7-8 pm, there will be a reception with the film director catered by the Rathskeller for those who would like to attend.
