This could be a possible location for the video screenings but we'd need access to a generator for the projector and PA system. This site used to be a thriving pool during the good old bad days however post '94 it attracted the "wrong element", government funding died and it had to be closed.Labels: Apartheid, Swimming Pool, Woodstock

Mixtape is a blog run (loosely) by Linda Stupart as a manifestation of a project in which she collaborates with a large group of smart, interesting, wonderful cultural producers. As such, Mixtape documents these collaborations. More than that, though, the blog serves as a space for each member of the project to post whatever they like: Tell us what they’re making, thinking, doing or, even, feeling. The blog also forms a space for Linda, a Cape Town based critic, artist, feminist, WWE fan and cultural commentator, to post her writing.

I thought of another place too. We could ask Andre permission to use one of the warehouse units on the Tamboerskloof farm. If we were to have the drive in in a warehouse we wouldn't have to worry about rain.
Also I think a Mixtape warehouse rave is in order ;)

check it out if you haven't already.
The Make Shift Drive In doesn't have to just be screening indie film and video art it could also involve live music,dance and performance art.
Horrorfest at the Labia, Cape Town's annual horror movie festival, have a screening of a classic silent movie with an ensemble of musicians. This year the live soundtrack performance was by members of TERMINATRYX and LARK which was accumulatively known as THE MAKABRA ENSEMBLE.
perhaps contact them through:

Yeah horrorfest is awesome - of course bands playing soundtracks to film is one of the best 9ideas ever, the NOsferatu one is still one of the coolest things Ive seen...
Warehouse rave - what about the old 2666?
We were kicked out because they were demoloshing, but the space is still there...

This is a great location. One could invite people to sit in the pool and then project things on top of them like water patterns.
