 The aim of the project as always been to increase the diversity of content on South African cinema screens thereby becoming an important cultural space in the city of Johannesburg. In bringing new films to new audiences, The Bioscope has helped play a fundamental role in growing new markets for new films, becoming a vital mechanism in developing local audiences for locally & internationally produced cinema.
Over the last two years, The Bioscope has formed relationships with both local and international distributors, ensuring that a broad range of content not usually accessible in South Africa, has now been made available for programming. The Bioscope has also enjoyed hosting regular film-related events. Such events include; filmmaking workshops by experienced film and media professionals, award ceremonies and special screening events for all media-based schools in Johannesburg, music and film events and many more.
Through this focus on innovative and diverse programming The Bioscope has done everything possible ensure that it becomes the site of independent cinema in Johannesburg.
The Bioscope believes that the promotion of arts and culture is vital to the renewal and regeneration of Johannesburg’s inner city. Many of the world’s great cities have one or more independent cinemas and Johannesburg as a great city should be no different. In choosing to locate The Bioscope as part of the Main Street Life and the Maboneng Precinct, one should view The Bioscope is an urban renewal project, bringing businesses and people back to the inner city and endorsing Johannesburg as a World Class African City.
