Vote for the Screen Machine in the National Lottery Awards 2010

Everything about the Screen Machine is ingenious and exciting –

• the opportunities – for people in remote rural areas of the Scottish Highlands and Islands and Argyll to have the latest films brought to them to see
• the sense of circus, of carnival – with the arrival of the vehicle
• the engineering – as this heavy truck unfolds itself into a cinema as plush as any you’d find in a city Cineworld complex
• the familiar mystery – seeing the blue vehicle snake its way around the Highlands’ narrow roads and tracks and boarding ferries
• the programme – always the latest: the current tour has Sex and the City; Robin Hood; and the 3D (first class returnable glasses supplied) How to Train Your Dragon.

The first Screen Machine was sent to Bosnia virtually as soon as it came into service – a generous sacrifice as Scotland waited to see it. The second and current Screen Machine was even better.

The initiative is a candidate in the 2010 National Lottery Awards. It needs – and deserves – our votes.

Here’s the link – go to it and go to it. (And it can bring us The Illusionist as soon as possible – in exchange for our support.)
