Milja Viita‘s Delight at Robert St. is part of LABOCINE‘s October issue Felino. This program traces felines’ presence across history, culture, and science fiction—creatures at once sacred, feared, and fantastical.

Delight at Robert St. (2023) presents Buddy, an old stray cat in Toronto, who had managed to conquer a small territory of his own in the city center. The filmmaker met Buddy’s gaze every time she went out. She befriended her neighbor and captured his last autumn with her old 35mm hand cranked movie camera. Delight at Robert St. is a visual poem about the everyday moments that shape our lives.
