Amphi

Amphi functions as more than just a screening space for Johannesburg—it's a gathering point where artists, filmmakers, and audiences who care about cinema actually congregate. The theatre anchors a community of people for whom film matters as conversation, not background noise. Locals depend on it for film festivals, independent screenings, and events that wouldn't exist without a dedicated venue. It matters to the neighbourhood because it draws people together around something shared and meaningful. The role it plays goes beyond showing content; it's about maintaining a space where cinema culture survives in a city increasingly dominated by mall multiplexes. That responsibility—to keep real cinema alive in Johannesburg—is what makes venues like this valuable to the people who use them.
