Deakin Cinemas also operated a weekly
              show at Robinvale between December
              1987 and January 1991 - this ended
              when the local Council terminated this
              arrangement in favour of a local person
              with Council connections.

              Chris Mitchell had designed and built a
              portable, folding screen which is fitted
              to a two wheel trailer and opens up with
              a scissor action. Along with a portable
              Chinese projector, this equipment is
              used for occasional outdoor screenings
              at community and charity events around
              the Sunraysia district.

              The cinema externally promotes its
              programs with a 24-hour display of movies
              and times with a 15 meter wide Alcatel
              digital screen. This style of signage is used
              on modern bus destination boards and is
              thought to be unique in cinema use.
