The screens occupy the flat space

above the inter-compartment door,
facing the food court area.

Popular screening areas may also
include some amphitheatre-syle seats,
00:56
as well as seats 'among the gods'
on top of the nearest buildings.

Throughout the day the screens show mostly
news, public information, and commercials,
01:09
showing a family-oriented programme
around the evening meal.
01:14
Later into the evening and night,
screens in commercial areas may
01:18
be used to accompany live shows or
for more adult-themed content.
01:25
The best movie-watching experience is
to be had at the end of Ways,
01:30
where there isn't a stream of
noisy traffic under the screen.

Outdoor cinema at New Albion isn't
