Also important is the change from single-projector projection, where one film is watched by a larger number of people, to "cinema-car" where a larger number of "projectors" broadcast a number of films to the same number of people. The paper analyses the connection of cinema with the phenomenon of travel, examining all the transformations and the path that led to them. ER
