Introduction:
Cape Town is one the most beautiful cities in the world. South African people
call it the mother city. Cape Town is the cultural capital of the entire African
continent. The population of Cape Town is 3.7 million (S. C. C-2012). A
diverse group of people live in this metropolitan city. Majority are educated,
they love art and culture, and film as well. Ironically, majority of the audience
that watches films do not go to the cinemas anymore to watch them. They
rather rent or buy newly released DVDs from the nearest DVD/Video rental
shops when they desire to see new movies. As a result, the fact that there
were 25 cinema venues in cape town of which 7 have already been shut down,
becomes burning but incongruous truth.
Generally majority of the Cape Town people watch films by renting or buying
DVDs, via internet /Online, on TV and cable channels and often by visiting
Cinema halls or venues. South Africa was undoubtedly one of the first
countries in the world that started playing motion pictures. Lingards
Waxworks in Durban, who exhibited a number of mechanical novelties of the
penny-in-the-slot variety, first showed films here in August 1895. One of
those films was using a Kinetophone.
Compare to the rest of the African continent, South African cinema venues or
halls are larger in size. However, in worlds prospective these halls are not that
big. However, the whole culture of cinema halls is still growing. There are
nearly about 700 Cinema venues or hall in South Africa. South African
cinema business began early in the 20th century. Most of the halls were built
early in the 20th century. Later part of 20th century and 21st century had not
been good for cinema hall business in South Africa. Majority of the South
African audience are no longer watching the new movies at cinema halls
anymore. For this reason business of this sector is dying day by day.
Entrepreneurs in this sector are less interested in opening up new cinema
venues in Cape Town. Entertainment Industry in other sectors is growing lot
faster than cinema venues. Farther more, South African Government do not
provide subsidies or careful nurturing in this industry. However, it is needless
to say that business sector can create new jobs for the massive unemployed
people of South Africa.

At present, the film & cinema venues business of the world are going through
crisis. Cinema halls have to compete with forever changing rapid
technological world. Hall owners do not control the life style of people, how
people choose to entertain themselves. In the Arabian countries and in many
other third world countries, film & cinema industry are in jeopardy.
Audiences in African, Arabian and Asian countries say, cinema hall or venues
facility is not good enough, film is not good, and most films do not come up
with good stories. Therefore, public in those countries loose their interest in
going to cinema halls to watch a new film. Audience and their mind must be
taken into consideration at all times during making of a film.
South African Film Industry has a heritage of 107 years. Yet, the quality of
productions will make it hard to believe they have been in the business over
hundred years. It seems it is still in the incubator stage. Therefore, the filming
industry in South Africa needs to be take care of so that it can contribute
eloquently in the filming world. It is important to note that venues or halls
are the heart of the film industry. It is predicted that South African film
industry will be one of the biggest film industries in the world (source).
Earlier in the essay it is mentioned that 7 out of 25 halls are not running their
cinema venues business: It is hard to imagine that every cinema hall will be a
successful business but when the ratio of failure is so great ( a staggering 28
%), one would point out this as a crisis matter which needs thoughtful
research and investigation why such a high failure rate.
This research will play a significant role not only for the Cape Town cinema
venues or halls business and South African film industry but also give a new
perspective to the world of cinema venues business and film industry.
Find the reasons why cinema hall business is declining and give meaningful
solutions that will sustain improved film makings, art & culture and improve
cinema venues business.
Chapter -1
History of Cinema Venues :
Cinema is largely a nineteenth- century technology, relying on the chemistry
of photography, is itself now over 100+ years old, in the last century.[1]
The history of film began in the late 1880s with the invention of the first
movie camera. Motion pictures were initially displayed at exhibitions as a
carnival novelty and were developed as one of the most important tools of
communication and mass media. Most films before 1930 were silent. Motion
picture films have substantially affected the arts, technology and politics.
The movie theatre was considered a cheaper and simpler way to entertain the
masses. Film became the most popular visual art form since the late Victorian
age. It became simple because of the fact that before the cinema, people had
to travel long distance to see dramas to entertain themselves. All of that
changed after the invention of cinema. During the first decade of the cinema’s
existence, inventors worked to improve the machines for making and showing
films.
……………………………………………….
The first eleven years (1895-1906) of motion picture shows cinema moving
from a novelty to an established large scale entertainment industry. The first
commercial exhibition of film took place on April 14, 1894 at Edison’s
Kinetoscopeep – show parlor.[1] The Nickelodeon was the first successful
permanent theater showing films. It was opened in Pittsburgh in 1905. In
1907 there were about 4,000 small Nickelodeon cinemas in the United States.
The films were shown with the accompaniment of music provided by a
pianist, though there could be more musicians.
After start of the film industry in the United States, it spread out in the other
parts of the world like GB, France, Germany, and in Italy.
.....................................................
In 1895 the Lumiere brothers held the first exhibitions of films to paying
customers in the Indian Room at the Grand Café in Paris. Audiences
unprepared for the illusion of cinema, fled in panic as the screen was slowly
filled by a train trundling into a station. Arrival of the Train in the Ciotat
Station was baldly titled, but its locomotive was pulling behind it the infant
film industry.[1]
The major business centers of the film marking are in the United States, India
and in Hong Kong. In Europe France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and
Germany are the countries that lead movie production.
At this moment the film & cinema venues business condition of the world is
collapsing. Every one is worried. They try to find out what is the problem? In
the Arabian countries and most of the third world countries, film & cinema
industry is in jeopardy. In Bangladesh, a South Asian third world country,
after gaining it’s independence in 1971[2] had 1400 cinema venues and had no
DVD shops, but now only 750 cinema venues are struggling to stay afloat and
in the meantime nearly 2500 DVD shops have opened in the country. Most of
the audience say the future cinema venues business will be vanish. On the
other hand DVD shop will be everywhere.

Chapter-2
When compared with the rest of the African continent it can be said South
African cinema venues business or industry is very large. However, it is small
compare to the rest of the world’s prospective even though it is expanding.
There are roughly about 700 Cinema venues or hall in South Africa. South
African cinema venues business started as early as the start of the 20th century.
Most of the cinema venues were built in the last 100 years. Ironically, 21th
century has not been good for cinema venues business in South Africa. The
South African audience are not going to the cinema halls as much as they used
to. For this reason business is dying day by day. New business man or
entrepreneurs are less interested in risk takings. Other sector of South Africa’s
entertainment industry is growing and cinema venues are just out performed.
In addition, South African government do not provide subsidies in this sector
and are reluctant to support. It is important to highlight that cinema halls can
create lot of jobs for unemployed which is a serious issue in this country.

Cape Town cinema venues business:
Within Cape Town City, cinema venues or hall business is collapsing now.
17 cinema hall are actively operating out of the original 25. There are 3
major stake holders in cape town film business.[ 1] These are: Starkenikor, Nu
metro, and Cinema Nova. Apart from these 3 major industry, there are few
privately own cinema venues. Privately owned cinema venues can not
compete with the might of the mega film showing venues like starkenikor.
Therefore privately owned Cape Town Cinema hall industry is going through
lots of challenges.[2] One of the big problem is its audience and their need.
Films that are shown are sometimes are not up to the viewers interest or
standard . They have lots of objection about the Cape Town cinema venues as
well. It becomes very hard for small venues to survive and compete with
them. Starkenikor and Numetro are playing what we call in economics
monopolistic competition. They decide on price factors. It is not helping the
common people. Film watching in a venue became much more expensive.
Therefore, this business industry is dying day by day. Entrepreneurs are not
interested in investing money to open new cinema venues in Cape Town.

Bijou,
observatory , Lower main Road, Cape Town, South Africa.
Bijou is no longer a cinema venue. It has been converted now into a tools
manufacturing factory. Some local people say within short time this once
popular cinema venue will be broken down to make rooms for new
commercial project.
In 1981 Bijou was caught on fire and destroyed. Everything was damaged
inside. It was unexpected. Therefore it was shut down.
Early in the 1950s Bijou was open as a cinema venue. Surrounding areas
were very busy and crowded for this cinema venues. People were coming to
every show, and it was house full most of the time. Morning, afternoon,
evening and night shows were all busy. Lots of small business like still
photography shop, sweet shop, grocery shop, bar, book shop, painting shop,
barber shop, take way shop were opened because Bijou attracted so much
people everyday here.
Most people complain about the venue because the owners did not renovate
the venue over the years. It was not modern and up to the standard as a venue.
People were also concerned about the night time security in the area which is
why it lost lot of revenues.
Land lord Opinion: ( he is not interested to disclose his name and present
address)
After bijou was burnt, partners were not interested anymore to keep this
cinema venue open. The cinema venues business was not bad that time. Bijou
was always presenting interesting films for audience. Problem came from the
management side as they did not cater money to renovate the place. In
addition, Bijou was totally damage by burnt. therefore, there was financial
loss. One partner died within short time and one partner already invest his
money in another business. It was a sad ending for Bijou. In the end the
17
business was shut down due the financial crisis. The owner of the building
wanted new business and it moved on from there on.
***One of the Land lords say cinema business was going down. Every year
business had no profits only lose.
Wind has changed world wide. Cinema business are no longer in the hands of
independent owners. Corporate giants have taken over. They want to play
monopoly.
Therefore, we had to shut the business down.
Mr. Abdulla now he is 70 years old. He was the last film projection machine
operator of the Bijou. He told us, after burnt not only he all worker also lost
their job. It was very pain full for every one. Within a day they were jobless.
Every body felt big economical problem. Within a year lots of small business
of this areas shut down dew to the bijou. Their family also felt big
economical crisis.
Social effect :
Last 30 years local people watched lot of social effect after Bijou shut down.
New generation have no felling but old citizen of this have different opinion.
They have lots of emotional teach with Bijou.
Younger generation lose their golden time for close Bijou. Local family were
meet each other in front of bijou. They were make friend ship through to the
bijou. So socially big negative effect after close down Bijou in this aria.
crime ret: Local people opinion after close down Bijou, this aria crime ret is
incising. Every day after evening now surrounding aria so quite. No one want
to come out from the home for crime.
Economical effect :
Near about 25 people direct lose their job after close down the bijou. They
lose their earning source. within one year 50 small shop close down in this
aria. For this reason 4X50 =200 people lose their job with earning source.
Indirectly moor then 200+25=225x 5= 1100 people lose their economical and
social security.
18
Economical point of view if one people were average earn R 5,000 per
month. Then total earn R 5,000x225= R 11,2 5,000 per month. After close
down the bijou R,11,25,000 per month South African economy also lose their
service.
If you watch very closely then you can find out big and deep economical
effect for long time south African economy after close down cinema venues
‘Bijou’.
We already discus near about 25 people direct lose their job after close down
the bijou. They lose their earning source. within one year 50 small shop close
down in this aria. For this reason 4X50 =200 people lose their job with
earning source. Indirectly moor then 200+25=225x 5= 1100 people lose their
economical and social security.
Economical point of view if one people were average earn R 5,000 per
month. Then total earn R 5,000x225= R 11,2 5,000 per month.
Per month:
After close down the bijou R,11,25,000 per month South African economy
also lose their service.
Per year:
12x 11,25000 = R 1,3 5,00,000 per year South African economy lose their
service.
Last 30 year :
30x 13500000 = R 40,5 0,00,000 last 30 year south African economy lose
their service only for Bijou close down.

venues(data from interview). 52% people of Cape Town want to watch
romantic, comedy and action moves. 60% woman feel unsafe particularly
night show. 52% are interest watch moves DVD, Online and T V. 75% public
do not believe film have any power for change his or her intellectuals life but
52% believe film can change his or her cultural life. 85% people believe when
a cinema venue closes down then it leaves lots of negative impacts in the
society both economically and culturally.
According to the research sample the People of Cape town do not only have
one crisis with cinemas, there are several other major problems or issues that
are challenging to the community here. It includes the fight with the corporate
giants versus the local cinema venues owners.
1. Start the Cinema venues business before the new investors should know
about this business perfectly.
2. City planners must allocate ideal places where Cinema venues will be
situated so that it is in the reachable distance for the locals and support the
local traders.
3. Every Cinema venues should have international level facility for the
audience .
4. Cost of the movies watching must be at a level that mass people can
