The State of Cinemas in Africa
A tour of African cinemas including those in Egypt, South Africa, Senegal and Kenya
Reports from around Africa on the state of cinemas and film-making there. In Cairo there are crumbling cinemas and fading national film industry as multiplexes and Hollywood films take over. In Johannesburg, South Africa, some cinemas are doubling up as homeless shelters. In Senegal, Cinema Libertie has a dubious reputation, but the 2000 seat cinema is often full.
