- Hi-Arts is offering a fully self-contained temporary cinema on long-term loan, rent free. The Screen Machine touring cinema currently seats 102 people and is equipped for 35mm film projection. After several years touring the Highlands and Islands it was most recently used as a temporary cinema while Eden Court Theatre was redeveloped. The cinema could be used to test the market for potential new cinema facilities or to act as a small scale multi-purpose venue. It is being offered to organisations in Scotland for a minimum period of 12 months.
