Being ushered into a dark, silent movie theatre may make for a dramatic screening. However, these dingy, popcorn encrusted cinemas tend to dampen any form of social interaction.

Introducing the [Roof Top Cinema](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-coffee), situated in the open air of Melborne’s city scape. It is an all senses engaging atmosphere, where groups of friends fall back into deck chairs and pass around the pick and mix.

“Roof Top Cinema is owned by a sharp team of creative minds that are committed to building unique communications with inner-urban audiences. Through our work we explore that obsession everyday, devising the most innovative ways to connect with people”, says the team.

If more [social cinema spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/largeformat-experience) were to pop up in these unusual places we could vacate those isolating screening rooms, leaving these reclusive couples to the back row.
