Director Donovan Marsh s newly released gritty action movie iNumber Number has an outdoor screening at The Bioscope Independent Cinema in Johannesburg on 30 April at 20h00.

Audiences can watch the film on the streets of Maboneng as Kruger Street will be closed off. Tickets are R110 each, including a special Jameson welcome drink and popcorn. The film will screen inside The Bioscope on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 May.

On Thursday 1 May at 19h30, the cinema hosts a special fundraiser screening of director Riaad Desai s award-winning documentary Miners Shot Down, which details events before and on the day in August 2012 when miners who went on a wildcat strike for better wages were brutally gunned down by police.

With tickets available at R70 each, proceeds of the screening will go towards The Marikana Support Campaign.

On Sunday 4 May Classic Movie Sundays presents The Sound of Music with tickets priced at R20 per person.

On Friday 9 May at 19h30 African Metropolis, a compilation of six short fiction films set in Abidjan, Cairo, Dakar, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi, starts showing. The movies tell urban tales about life in these metropolises as the shift in African cinema is now towards urban stories with less focus on the rural and traditional parts of the land.

Made possible by The Eco Film Festival and exclusive to The Bioscope, Blackfish screens on Sunday 16 May at 19h30. The film tells the story of Tilikum, a performing killer whale that killed several people while he was in captivity.

Featuring shocking footage and emotional interviews to explore the animal s astonishing nature, the cruel treatment of the species in captivity and the lives of the trainers, director / producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite presents bold insights about the multi-billion dollar sea-park industry.
