Praise for MadCat "Ben-Dov curates inspired programs that combine both historical (and historically neglected) films and new works by women." - The Independent Film and Video Monthly "MadCat isn't just a women's film festival - it's an arty showcase of avant-garde experimental shorts that veer far from the traditional modes of storytelling." -Seattle Weekly "At MadCat, being avant-garde is just as important as being female." - SF Chronicle "Refreshingly unique!" Film/Tape World "As a genre, as a space for talking about, documenting, dramatizing, and inventing ourselves on camera, women's filmmaking can only grow and improve through ambitious events like MadCat. MadCat gets a big, big hand for insight, excellence, attitude, and chic." - Art Papers
