The Fingo Film Festival is currently taking place in Grahamstown. The format of the festival is a pop-up cinema. Held between 7pm and 8.30pm the festival includes short films, music videos and documents about Grahamstown.

The festival, taking place at the Fingo Square between Dr Jacob Zuma Drive and Albert Road, began Friday 19 December and continues Saturday and Sunday and are free.

The festival is collaboration between Brent Meistre and Xola Mali showcasing works created by Rhodes University Journalism and Media Studies students, Fine Art Students and local film makers.  

According to Meistre, the festival is has technical support from the National Arts Festival, The Grahamstown Community Policing Forum and the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture.

The works are being shown at the Fingo Village Square using the Analogue Eye Pop-up Cinema vehicle where the projector is placed on the roof of the car and projected onto a pop-up screen. The event aims at creating alternative entertainment over the holiday period.

Analogue Eye is a mobile drive-in theatre and pop-up cinema experience. The project pays homage to the traditional drive-in experience and to early projectionists such as Sol Plaatjie who, travelling across South Africa, took the moving image to the people.

In this vein and spirit Analogue Eye has taken the video works from the gallery context to meet a wider audience in unexpected public platforms and spaces.

Video Art Africa is a curated screening of three programmes of diverse video artworks made by 37 artists about, from or on the African continent, which for many will be their first showing on the continent.

Equipment sponsored by Sony South Africa.
