Catfilm for Ursula

In Catfilm for Ursula, Standish Lawder presents a blend of home life and feline antics. The film follows the director's experiences with his wife Ursula and their daughters, alongside their numerous cats. One particular cat's endearing behavior—wagging its tail as if conducting to the music—serves as the film's central concept.

This experimental short stands out for its unconventional approach and use of music to enhance the visuals. Lawder's work connects with themes of family dynamics, pet ownership, and the absurdities of daily life. The film's playful tone and unique concept have made it a noteworthy exploration of the intersection between human and animal experiences.
