Katra Film Festival 2021

After a long and challenging year of COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, we celebrated their return to in-person events last month the only way we know how — ON THE BIGGEST SCREEN IN NEW YORK CITY! What an amazing two nights they were as filmmakers, audiences, family and friends alike gathered in the hallways of the AMC Theatre Multiplex in Times Square to embrace each other with warm hugs and kisses for the first time in over a year and a half. Filmmakers and their team of collaborators came out in full force to join us for two celebratory, fun and exciting nights out at the movie theatre with Q&A panel discussions, media interviews, and live movie screenings. We were cheers, gasps, sighs, tears, laughter and all the emotions that only a live communal screening can produce. It was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
