Hout Bay’s cultural scene is getting a fresh and exciting addition with an innovative outdoor movie experience at The Collective. Every Saturday evening, movie lovers can gather for a unique silent cinema experience powered by CINEWAV, a cutting-edge technology that lets audiences hear the film’s audio through their own devices and headphones.
Hosted by Mobile Cinema Africa in partnership with The Collective, this weekly event transforms traditional movie nights into an immersive experience under the stars.
What is CINEWAV and How Does It Work?
CINEWAV is a revolutionary piece of technology that eliminates background noise, ensuring crystal-clear audio without distortion. Instead of conventional speakers, viewers tune in via the CINEWAV app, providing an uninterrupted, high-quality sound experience. Attendees can bring their own headphones or rent a pair at the venue.
This technology is the perfect complement to the stunning Hout Bay location and the delicious dining options at The Collective.
April’s Movie Lineup at The Collective
The Collective will host four movie nights throughout April, featuring a mix of classics and modern favorites:
- 5 April – Beetlejuice
- 12 April – Crazy, Stupid, Love
- 19 April – Mufasa
- 26 April – The Greatest Showman
Screenings begin at 7:30 PM, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure the best seats. Families can also take advantage of a special ticket option that allows four people to connect to one phone using an earphone splitter.
Gourmet Dining with The Collective’s Harvest Menu
Moviegoers can indulge in The Collective’s new Harvest Menu, a build-your-own pita or shawarma experience featuring:
