Get ready for movie nights: Carletonville's cinema is coming back with a bang
West Rand movie lovers, here is some good news: the Kine Cinema Carletonville is reopening. The cinema will officially open on Saturday, August 31st, making it the perfect treat for the end of the month. Locals can look forward to watching films produced and shot in Carletonville. The cinema, which has been inactive for over ten years, will open with the premieres of two films produced by Thabo 'Mahavatar' Ramaine: Game Changers and Hidden Clause. Thabo expressed his excitement about the reopening of the cinema. "It's an amazing cinema, a state-of-the-art. It is a beautiful space with a restaurant, bar, and food court," Thabo tells Time Out Johannesburg. He says that only white people previously used it during apartheid, and it was later not well-maintained, forcing it to close. "It was used before for events, but then it was later closed. Now we are trying to revive it." Speaking about his films, Thabo, who started producing films in 2016, says Game Changers is "about a journey of young people who are creatives, but also who are hustlers." "The film tells a story of young people who are vulnerable, but also have big dreams. They use art to shift the dynamics of their community," says the producer. Thabo says he is also honoured that his films are exposing local talent. "In Game Changers, I feature a lot of local talent," he says proudly. Thabo says viewers can also expect to be entertained by the pantsula dance featured in the film. " It is also a film that revolves around movement, around dance." Speaking about his other film, Thabo says it is all about the pain of betrayal. "It is also about the mental war and battle". He says the film features local talent from Carletonville and new actors. Tickets are R80 and you can purchase popcorn, sweets and soft drinks.
