The Screen Room
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Screen Room is a 21 seat arthouse cinema in the Hockley Village area of Nottingham, England.
The combination of a single screen and 21 person capacity have earnt it the title of "the world's smallest cinema",[1] though this has yet to be ratified by Guinness World Records. The honour of smallest purpose-built cinema currently goes to the Cinema Dei Piccoli in Villa Borghese, Rome, Italy, with 63 seats.[2]
Opened in its current iteration by Steven Metcalf on 27 September 2002, the cinema mainly screens world cinema and cult classics. The building had previously housed a cinema, although it mainly screening X-rated films.[1]
