Petna Ndaliko Katondolo, geboren 1974 in Goma, Kongo, ist Filmemacher, Aktivist und Dozent. Er lebt aktuell zwischen seiner Heimatstadt und Chapel Hill. Seine genreübergreifenden Arbeiten werden für ihren dekolonialen afrofuturistischen Stil geschätzt, der historische Inhalte mit zeitgenössischen gesellschaftspolitischen und kulturellen Themen verbindet. 2000 gründete er Yole!Africa, eine gemeinnützige Organisation, die im Osten Kongos als Zentrum für Bildung und soziale Innovation für Künstler*innen, führende Persönlichkeiten der Zivilgesellschaft und Journalist*innen dient. 2005 gründete er das Congo International Film Festival (vormals bekannt als Salaam Kivu International Film Festival). Neben seiner Tätigkeit als künstlerischer Leiter von Yole!Africa und des Congo International Film Festival, unterrichtet und berät er regelmäßig internationale Organisationen, die sich mittels Kultur- und Bildungsinitiativen mit sozialer und politischer Ungerechtigkeit unter marginalisierten Gruppen befassen.
