Excerpt from
Variety article:
The vast majority of South Africa's 40-million people have never been
to the cinema, kept away by the legacy of apartheid, poverty and
language barriers. But the nation's exhibs are hoping to change that
by using the indigenous filmmaking along with digital technology to
connect to the missing multitudes (...)
Starting in September, Shout Africa will roll out 20 digital cinemas
around the country where facilities are most lacking, to make the
movies affordable and accessible. Shout Africa chief executive Lance
Samuels says that for local producers, these cinemas will provide
another distribution outlet as well as the opportunity to build new
audiences.
Locally produced films in indigenous languages and English will be
shown alongside foreign features, with subtitles in the vernacular
language of the region of the cinema.Besides the usual popcorn and
soft drinks, popular traditional township foods such as maize
porridge, spicy sausages, samp (hominy), mealies (corn on the cob) and
fried chicken will be on sale to help make the d-cinema experience
more African.
Samuels says d-cinemas will be located in revamped township community
centers to create a quality experience, including comfortable chairs,
high quality digital projection and state of the art surround sound.
And, hoping to seal the deal, prices will be much lower than at urban
multiplexes.
Wonder what kind of gear the company will be installing? Will this be
true cinema-grade digital projection, or something cruddier and
lower-res (and, hence, more affordable)? Either way, it's fascinating
news, and points to one of the greatest promises of this technology.
Which hardware manufacturer(s) will be involved?
Here's more info on the "Shout Africa" d-cinema initiative, Link,
by way of Sithengi -- a
company that promotes the South African television and film industry.
Link to Variety story (paid sub required,
but the story seems to be largely cribbed from the Sithengi
press release anyway... )
