ABOUT THE ENGINE

In the early 21st century the most widely practiced art form is MOTION PICTURE (FILM/VIDEO). A variety of social and technical attributes are responsible for the rising phenomena, but the most apparent cause can certainly be traced to the advancement and availability of pro-sumer resource and technology. An era of “power to the people” (so to speak) in this medium threatens the corporate media empire as never before.

With more and more motion picture content searching for viewership - the next phase in this threat is imminent: Wider opportunity for motion picture venues.

In cities all around Europe it is already becoming standard for clubs and bars to have a quality PROJECTION SYSTEM. Just as the Independent music scene took on a D.I.Y. attitude that led to 8 out of 10 bars facilitating a stage and P.A. system the world over - The same must be done for underground film.

The Engine is a pioneering angle on this forthcoming movement.

The portable projection system, featuring a 1000 pound light and steel sculpture that kinetically supports a 17 foot screen, debuted at The Architecture and Design Museum of Los Angeles in 2007.

ALONG WITH MONTHLY PRESENTATIONS OF RARE CINEMA, THE SYSTEM IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A RENTAL TO THE PUBLIC FOR SCREENINGS AND EVENTS.
