Description: This title tells how Gordon Brinckle (1915-2007), a movie projectionist by trade, always dreamed of owning a movie palace. But on a projectionist's salary, the possibility of accomplishing that goal was remote. So in 1959, he began building the Shalimar Theatre, a fully-functional, 9-seat faux vintage movie theatre.
Notes: Documents Brinckle's life and a 2006 traveling exhibition which showcased his custom built theater with the actual structure, videos, and photograps.
