Hollywood Theatre will open a 17-seat "microcinema" in Portland International Airport's Concourse C on Thursday, Feb. 23. Admission is free and the theater will be open around the clock.
The microcinema will show an hourlong program, played on a loop, of short documentaries, music videos, animations and short fiction, ranging from 4 to 9 minutes in length.
The cinema's first lineup includes a Pink Martini-inspired video, an animated short by Chel White about love gone wrong, and a hip-hop video from Portland rapper Mic Capes.
The Hollywood, a nonprofit, will work with regional filmmakers to develop original content for the microcinema. The venue will host occasional live performances and other special events.
The microcinema features state-of-the-art projection and sound. The Custom Electronics & Design Installation Association coordinated equipment donations from manufacturers including Portland-based Triad Speakers and Portland-based Planar.
