Depository of Geek- Now THAT is a theater!

That Ladies and Gentleman is indeed a floating theater.  It is located in Thailand and is named The Archipelago Cinema.  

Using recycled wood and other materials, a giant modular raft was constructed to hold the audience. Viewers can relax on large cushions and enjoy the sounds of the ocean as well as the film on the screen in front of them. The rafts are loosely held together and then anchored to the bottom of the lagoon. This allows for the ocean to push and prod the structure while keeping it within a reasonable viewing angle of the screen.

The massive display and projector are secured more firmly to the bottom of the bay, which is probably a good idea considering that these structures house all the important electrical components and wouldn't take kindly to a dip in the ocean. The viewing raft is designed to be portable, and will likely be used for other events in the future as well.

Showings only take place during the evening, and special ambient lighting is used to bring the surrounding island scenery to life. With all the amazing eye candy to be seen, it's a wonder anyone was actually able to focus on the movie playing, but those who attended have spoken very highly of the experience. Of course, 2012 was just the first year a film festival was hosted on this floating theater, so one can only imagine what wild things that may be planned for in the future.

In any event, I had to share this with all of you.  To be lucky enough to go and see Thailand and then to experience a film in these surroundings would be just heaven to a film lover like myself.  Perhaps someday I can see this for myself.  For now, one can only dream...
