Opening night of the Pittsburgh Japanese Film Festival is for cats… and boy do we have a title for you this year!

-LA Weekly
Tamala is a cat living on Planet Cat Earth in the Feline Galaxy. In attempt to leave the Feline Galaxy, which is practically owned by a mega corporation called Catty & Co., she crashes on the violence-ridden Planet Q where she meets Michelangelo. Together they have fun, while Tamala seaches for her connections to Catty & Co. and her mysterious homeworld Orion.
Opening night tickets come with gift bags and other fun surprises to mark the start of our favorite fest of the year!
