There seems to be a rise in the film club scene in Cape Town. At the end of October, we saw the opening of the Pink Flamingo, a 35 seater rooftop cinema on the roof of Grand Daddy on 38 Long Street. On 4 December the Woodstock Industrial centre at 66 Albert Road started a regular video screening programme with a screening of Via The Back Roads (a tour of Africa covering skateboarders and BMXers) as well as Epitaph (faith47’s art making filmed in action by Rowan Pybus).
