DStv Access is partnering with Mzansi Bioskop (DStv channel 164) to bring movies to the people. DStv Mzansi Bioskop Nights will feature a first glimpse of blockbuster local films in open theatres (community centres, school halls, open air) around South Africa, starting this June.
One event is set to take place each month in a different province, kicking off in Mpumalanga this Friday, and later in Gauteng, Limpopo, and KwaZulu-Natal.
The first movie night will take place on Friday, 3 June in Secunda at 2302 Embalenhle, Extension 12, at 6PM sharp. Members of the public will qualify for entry by having opened a DStv Access account during the week and therein retrieved a reference number. There will also be space for some ‘walk-ins’ on the night, but space is very limited so access will be based on a first-come-first-served basis. The event will feature the multiple-award winning local film Thina Sobabili. Attendees will also get a chance to meet and interact with Emmanuel Nkosinathi Gweva, who starred in the flick as Thulas.
“Bringing these Bioskop Nights to the community will ensure that people don’t have to travel into town to watch a movie. They will get a perfect picture on a large screen with surround sound in their own community. We plan to have guest appearances by our DStv Access Brand Ambassador Kenny Nkosi, as well as various Mzansi Bioskop stars to further make this experience memorable – brought by DStv Access” says Marketing Manager for The Mass Market Portfolio, MultiChoice South Africa, Hellen Dinawane.
Head of Marketing for M-Net Local Entertainment Channels, Victor Koaho, alluded to what these Bioskop Nights present, “These events are a chance for our audiences to get a first glimpse of our most successful local movies, and a taste of what Mzansi Bioskop has to offer on the DStv Access package. The events serve as opportunities for families to come together after a hard week, relax, and enjoy the finest original African storytelling around.”
The first Bioskop Night comes in line with the Mzansi Bioskop channel revamp of 1 June 2016. For more information on the DStv Mzansi Bioskop Nights, visit mzansimagic.dstv.com.
