More About The Bioscope

The Bioscope is comfortably situated in the artist hub of The Maboneng Precinct. They are very close to the ample restaurants that grace the precinct, however, is a standout because they are the only place in Maboneng where you can enjoy the traditional ways of movie screenings. This independent cinema has created a culture where they screen a mixture of the classic movies, new movies, film festival movies and more. Their main aim is to make sure that diversity shines through in their selective screenings and that Johannesburg movie standards are high up. They also pride themselves in bringing you the newest movies from both local and international film. Not only that, but they also bring back those movies that you wish you watched on the big screen and missed out on or the ones that arrived way before the big screen even existed.

Why You Need To Bioscope?

They are not about that mainstream life, they are about fresh content, diversification to the extent of documentaries and the timeless bits, too. Here's a cherry on top, not only can you watch but you can also hire the cinema for any of your events which include hosting a screening, premiering your own film, corporate events as well as hosting your birthday (now that is a unique way of celebrating). They opened their own amazing foodie spot downstairs called Chalkboard, basically this is a pizza parlour and bar that plays a very integral role at The Bioscope. The amazing combo deal that is always the first choice for many comes from here; this includes your movie ticket, a pizza and a beverage. If that's not a great deal, I don't know what is. The Bioscope Maboneng Johannesburg Chalkboard The Chalkboard has become a popular spot for their pizza, and the fact that you can enjoy the pizza while watching a movie is a definite plus for everyone. The parlour is open everyday at around brunch until quite late due to movie screenings. Their tables are chalkboards, so if you up for some idea generation, this is a great spot for meetings too. During screenings, Chalkboard doubles up as the ticketing office and a bar for The Bioscope. The Bioscope Maboneng Johannesburg Their creative space allows you to really feel the essence of film making and the artistic characteristics that filmmakers awaken. The space on itself is a ball of creativity. So whether you want a romantic night out or an outing with some friends, chick flick vibes then this is the best place. May I also add that The Bioscope is situated in a very creative environment and is creative in its own right, so you can take a few selfies to capture the moment as part of your movie. Johannesburg, there you have it! A cinema with a difference.
