- The biggest-grossing film last year in Namibia was “The Matrix.” The only cinema in Windhoek – Namibia’s capital city with a population of 300,000 – is a Ster-Kinekor three-screen complex consisting of a total of 400 seats. Here, the entrance fee is N$20 during the week and N$25 on weekends, far beyond the reach of most locals. “Two entrepreneurs are walking around Windhoek, asking passersby what their favorite movie is: ‘Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Jean-Claude van Dammy [sic].’ ” The entrepreneurs want to revive a beat-up old cinema for African film. – Daily Mail and Telegraph (South Africa) 04/11/00
