- **Event Description**: The 15 films in the 10th Annual NY Dog Film Festival were chosen from 64 submissions from all around the world. We proudly continue a decade of celebrating the relationship between people and dogs with a program that will take you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Included this year are two films that won the Purina Dog Chow Service Dog Salute, depicting the life-saving bond between specially trained service dogs and veterans with PTSD. Note that a portion of every ticket purchased goes to a local animal welfare non-profit, bringing community awareness and support for the needs of local kitties. This screening will help support the Animal Protective Foundation. Though not rated, all films are appropriate to delight and inspire each member of the human family. 107 minutes.

“Running Late” (Hannah Porter) (2 min): An animated view of a dog’s perspective as he waits hopefully for his owner to come home.
“Following Flame” (Marc Jeffrey) (7 min) A Purina Service Dog Salute Winner: Seen from the dog Flame’s point of view, we experience how a “career change” from being a herding dog to being a specially trained service dog, allows her to positively transform the life of her veteran, who suffers from PTSD.
“The Golden Retriever Bachelor” (Kathy Alexander) (10 min): As a spoof on the reality TV show, three older women compete for the affection of a senior dog, Cooper — a tongue-in-cheek story meant to encourage adoption of senior dogs.
“Jamtland Dogs” (Carl-Philipp von Limburg) (9 min): A documentary following two women dog sled racers preparing for an international dog sledding competition in Northern Sweden.
“The Funeral” (Enrique Gill Lastra) (2 min): A moving memorial service given by a family who want to honor the dog they loved.
“Brought Back to Life” (Mutual Rescue) (4 min): A retired firefighter who has lost his purpose in his life finds it again with a search-and-rescue dog who is rescued from a shelter.
“A Touch of Romance” (Victoria Wharfe McIntyre, Australia) (3 min): A woman is so caught up reading stories of love, she is oblivious to a man who has fallen in love with her — but his dog figures out how to orchestrate “a touch of romance.”
“Chocolate Retriever” (Paige Meakin) (2 min): A claymation rendering of what a woman does to rescue her dog from the toxic-for-dogs chocolate bar he has ingested.
“Lessons from the Life and Death of Clifford” (Julia Rue, Samuel Taylor) (6 min): A sweet, sad philosophical contemplation about what death is like for our dogs and what it might be for us.
“The Tube” (Fangfang Han) (2 min): An animated rendition of the London Underground or “tube,” imagining the passengers as canines.
“Hustle and Run” (Jonny Maderson, Jono Stevens) (18 min): A documentary about a scrappy band of “everyday” women from a small town in England, who compete as the underdogs with their canine pack in Flyball (a competition known as “the F1 of dog sports”) and go all the way to Crufts, the renowned British dog show.
“Companions for Life” (Zach Putnam) (6 min): A documentary that is a testimonial about how a trained service dog has opened his person’s world.
“The Singular Affair of the Missing Ball” (John Semper) (20 min): An animated tale of the canine sleuth, Sherlock Whippet, who solves a mystery with the help of his intrepid companion, Dr. Woofson, a Bulldog.
“One Mind” (Les Owen) (5 min) A Purina Service Dog Salute Winner: A glimpse into the life-changing freedom and love provided by Holly, a specially trained PTSD service dog, who became a lifeline and soulmate for her veteran with PTSD, who had previously been housebound and suicidal.
“I’m Still Here: A Dog’s Purpose Forever” (Cathryn MIchon) (11 min): A poetically artistic rendering of Michon’s spiritual, uplifting book by the same name, reminding us that when our dogs die they never leave us.
