Join us on October 2 at the Elmhurst Public Library for a special live episode of the Queens Memory Podcast featuring Queens World Film Festival co-founders and directors Katha and Donald Preston Cato. For 15 years, the Catos have built one of Queens’ most inclusive and internationally respected film festivals, amplifying underrepresented voices and creating meaningful opportunities for filmmakers of all ages and backgrounds.

In this conversation, the Catos will reflect on their journey, from launching the first Queens World Film Festival in 2010 to managing youth filmmaking programs, documentary boot camps, and global partnerships. They’ll also share what’s next for them and the festival as they continue to nurture local talent and contribute to the cultural community in Queens. Don’t miss this inspiring look back…….and forward.
