Movie Reviews
The oldest independent art-repertory cinema in the country
The Labia Theatre is the oldest independent art-repertory
cinema in South Africa.
The Labia Theatre, originally an Italian Embassy ballroom, was opened by Princess Labia in May 1949 as a theatre for the staging of live performances.
For the past 4 decades it has been operating as a cinema on the alternative circuit appealing mainly to the more discerning viewer who enjoys its quality product and the charm of its old-world ambience.
Thanks to the assistance of Crowd Funding and the Digital Gold Fund, the Labia was able to convert to digital projection and boasts superior picture and sound quality whilst retaining its unique charm.
In addition to the conversion to digital projection, The Labia has been able to continue slowly upgrading her facilities to make your experience an even more memorable one.
Keep following our work in progress as the bar, terrace and catering facilities continue with their upgrade and offer you exciting and more diverse eating and drinking options to choose from.
Let us know your likes and dislikes in order to make your experience a special movie outing.
