Cinebus
CineBus is a shared vision among five friends: a DIY mobile microcinema offering film screenings, exhibitions, and hands-on workshops across the North Carolina Triangle. Born from an impulse purchase of a 1997 Thomas International School Bus on Facebook Marketplace, CineBus evolved into a space for experiential cinema and experimentation.
Cinebus will feature two film installations by Charlotte Taylor
