Amphitheatre

Running an outdoor cinema in Cape Town means working with the city's particular set of constraints and advantages. The Amphitheatre operates in an environment where summer weather—clear skies, long daylight hours stretching past 8 pm—creates ideal screening conditions, but winter brings wind and rain that require careful timing and weatherproofing. Screen installation, sound projection, and lighting all need to account for Cape Town's coastal climate, where salt air and sudden gusts can affect equipment. The operation demands flexibility around seasonal demand, advance weather monitoring, and contingency planning. It's a different proposition from indoor cinema work: every screening is dependent on conditions, every event requires understanding how the city's maritime weather patterns will behave on that particular night.
