Page 4, curated by Jim Joel, is an ongoing research and curatorial project, a long-term exploration of East Africa’s cinema heritage. Much like lines on a map , thin, fragile, and abstract, yet carrying vast histories, Page 4 traces paths between forgotten cinemas, the streets that connect them, and the people who remember their stories.

The story unfolds in movement: traveling from one cinema to another on foot, by bus, boda boda, or through collective community walks. These journeys extend beyond the city’s streets, transforming into digital routes where scattered archives are reassembled, stories are shared, and memories preserved.

Both online and offline, Page 4 grows as a living archive, connecting film, architecture, and public memory. Each step, image, and story contributes to a shared exploration , revealing how cinema shaped social life, urban heritage, and collective imagination, and how these histories continue to inspire communities today.
