Cat’s Apartment is part of Cat Got Your Tongue, the autumn film program by Asian Movie Night. The films in this program share stories about people staying with difficulties and troubles in their lives while making kinship with stray cats. Guest curator this evening is Hyeisoo Kim.

Cats’ Apartment is a documentary film about the migration process of cats who lost their homes due to the reconstruction of Dunchon Jugong Apartment (12,032 households) in Seoul.

The area is designed for humans by humans, but many other species’ lives coexist.  After the complex was abandoned, it had been squatted by cats. However, their lives were at stake when demolition began. Who owns the city? Are urban spaces pursuing a ‘city only for humans’ without a sense of responsibility for other living things? The film conveys sympathy and comfort to all vulnerable people in the city who had to leave the area by recording violence from cats’ perspectives.
