Noel Clarke has unveiled the world's smallest cinema ahead of tonight's Virgin Media Shorts Awards at the BFI.
The actor-director tested out the adapted 126cm by 130cm London rickshaw, which will be used to screen the shortlisted movies from the 12 finalists.
Clarke said: "Despite being just over one metre wide, the Virgin Media Shorts 'Flick-shaw' is incredibly comfortable and a great way to catch movies on the move.
"It has everything you could require from a standard cinema, yet it can get you from A to B in style and even comes complete with its own usherettes!"
The mobile cinema is also fitted with red velvet seats, a bespoke screen and floor-length curtains.
The judging panel for the award is made up of figures from across the film industry, including Clarke, Kevin Spacey and Gemma Arterton.
Around 2,000 films of under two-and-a-half minutes were entered into the second year of the competition, with the winner being given £30,000 funding and a chance to work with Virgin Media and the UK Film Council on their next project.
