Bringing to life the almost lost concept of the Bioscope, this venue is a movie theater that strives to steer clear from mainstream cinema, focusing more on independent cinema. Located on the ground floor of the bustling Main Street Life building, The Bioscope opened its doors in 2010 and since then has been providing the locals with a space where they can discover something different, movies that deal with issues that matter, rather than the glamor of the mainstream cinema. From films made by not-so-known local filmmakers, to films made by filmmakers from around the globe, The Bioscope is the ideal stop for any cinema lover. See the website to know more.
Apart from being the home to festivals these movie-houses give adult audiences a chance to see alternative films that would not normally rear their heads in this city. Set amongst coffee-bars and restaurants (normal cinema-fare also available), ten screens in this multiples of varying sizes give you a wide choice. The films are, however, normally recent releases and not historical ones. For movie schedules and other details, check the website.
