Cinemobile is a large truck which transforms into a 100 seater state of the art cinema, fully heated, air conditioned and with Dolby Surround Sound. Mobile cinemas have been in existence in France for over 20 years. This particular truck was built in France 2001 and Cinemobile has now been touring Ireland since, mobile cinemas also operate in Scotland and Eastern Europe.
