Stone Town:

Celebrating the rich tapestry of Africa's voices, cultures, and stories through cinematic experiences on the big screen.

Stone Town, a city in Zanzibar, was home to a unique tradition where on Fridays, a small group of elderly men, seven or eight in number gather in a dilapidated auditorium filled with cobwebs and broken chairs. Sitting beneath the open sky, where the roof had collapsed, they watch the flickering images of old films projected onto a wall.

This took place at the Majestic, one of Africa’s earliest cinemas, an art deco treasure from the
1920s. It is this very spirit that we seek to imitate through the Stone Town strand by showcasing African cinema on the big screen.
