Springwise: Cinemas around the world are faced with the challenge of recapturing the public’s imagination, creating a compelling experience to drag customers away from their smaller-screen rivals. The latest attempt we’ve spotted has taken a micro approach, creating a tiny cinema from a 1960s caravan to showcase films from the local area.
The Sol Cinema seats just 8 adults or 12 children in quirky surrounds, featuring two tiers of plush seating and an LED projector. A dedicated usher sells tickets and shows the audience to their seats. Furthermore, the entire operation is powered by a 120W solar panel and lithium batteries. The cinema is part of a non-profit project and is available to organisations wishing to showcase short films in their local community. It has already toured a number of music and arts festivals in the UK.

This is so cool! As a person who Project Managed installation projects for full-size residential theater systems, I really appreciate this! Maybe “theater trucks” can follow the “food trucks” trend?
