A mobile cinema is a cinema on wheels.
An example is the Screen machine Mobile Cinema of Scotland, which provides conventional up-to-date 35mm screenings of recent movies, with full digital surround sound, air conditioning, comfortable raked seating, and full disabled access. The French have their own Cinemobile system. There are also smaller mobile cinemas employing digital projection technology. Examples of these include the Gorilla Cinema solar powered mobile cinema established in 2000, which uses solar power and batteries to enable projection in even more remote locations, often taking place outdoors at night or housed in marquees and other temporary structures, and more recently the mobile cinema world has seen the relaunch of a recently restored 1967 custom built mobile cinema unit (see 'History' below).
In Italy since 2006 mobile cinema for two viewers Cortomobile projects short films and animations in cinema festivals and has been protagonist of the First Car Film Festival (Florence) in March 2009.
