Jo’burg cinema pick: January 13 2011

The Bioscope, at Main Street Life in the Maboneng precinct, opened its doors to 2012 this week.

But the movie house’s website suggests that the year is getting off to a slow start. This weekend you can play catch-up with its first programme, titled Best of 2011. Highlights include Gabi on the Roof in July, a movie for all ages directed by Lawrence Michael Levine in 2010. Set in New York today, it is described as a “portrait of young New York and the misguided hopefuls who can’t afford to live there but do anyway. This ensemble comedy is about ex-girlfriends, sibling rivalry and whipped cream in a city that’s constantly in flux.”

The Bioscope, 286 Fox Street, on January 14 at 5pm. Tel: 010?007?0119. Website: thebioscope.co.za.
