A new cinema is being created in France which seems to take its inspiration from the Senate, as seen in the early episodes of the Star Wars franchise.

According to its creators, “The Ōma Cinema is a truly different cinematic concept, offering spectacular architecture, an intimate atmosphere, an ‘a la carte’ service and truly unique experience for cinema operators and their audiences. The innovative architecture of the Ōma cinema is based on three major features: an original ‘platform’ layout; a flexible seat arrangement in each ‘balcony’; and projector positioning among the seating ‘pods’ allowing audiences to get much closer to the screen and the action.

“The unique architecture of the Ōma cinema is not only spectacular, it also provides the audience with a superior viewing experience, pushing back the front rows while elevating the back rows. The Ōma cinema enhances the viewing experience for each and every spectator in the auditorium.

“The staggered platforms allow the central positioning of the projector, thus the best possible projection of an image free of any distortion. The Ōma cinema is compatible with any type of digital projection and sound system technology on the market. Customisable platform distribution allows the Ōma to meet very specific location needs , whether existing structures or new projects. Operators can choose the size of each platform number of levels, platforms per level, as well as seating configurations per platform.”
