East Vancouver's tiny cinema showcases local films continuously

East Van Vodville Cinema, located in East Vancouver, is possibly Canada's smallest movie theatre. It is a tribute to the historic Pantages theatre, which was built in 1907 and demolished in 2011. The cinema is free and open 24/7. The cinema features a five-inch video screen that showcases local art, short films, and curated clips. It is designed for accessibility, with features like a children's stump and a handle for assistance. New collections are curated every 10 to 12 days. Creators Janet Mader and David Bynoe emphasize community involvement and invite local filmmakers to screen their work. The project was developed over a year and is supported by the Vancouver Hack Space community.
