About The Project

Page 4 is an ongoing research project led by Jim Joel, focused on documenting the rich history of old cinemas in East Africa, with a starting point in Kampala, a city that was at the forefront of cinematic culture from the 1950s to the 1980s. During this period, cinemas in Kampala were more than just venues for screening films; they were vibrant cultural hubs that nurtured filmmakers, film professionals, and diverse audiences. These spaces significantly influenced the city’s cultural landscape and left a lasting imprint on its skyline.
