The Kinema / Riviera Theatre at 170 Bridport Street, Albert Park operated a Kalee 21 35mm projection plant equipped with carbon-arc lamphouses and Kalee anamorphic lenses prior to its closure and re-furbishment into offices & arcade in 1983.

Following the theatre’s shutdown, key components of this projection plant were salvaged and relocated to The Astor Theatre in St Kilda.
