A pair of American artists have built a temporary drive-in cinema in Manchester from shipping containers and scrapped cars.

Jeff Stark and Todd Chandler’s Empire Drive-In has been created as part of the film and art festival, Abandon Normal Devices.Mr Chandler said the artistic idea behind the cinema was about “creative re-use and unlikely sites of possibility”.The cinema will be open until Friday and will show a mixture of short films and classic Hollywood movies, including Robocop and Mad Max II.
