As the movie theatre business has come to a standstill due to the pandemic and the resultant lockdown-related measures and demand for theatre screens has plummeted, UK-based Harkness Screens, which makes these screens, has devised a new way of keeping its factories running and workers occupied in India.
After much deliberations, it has started manufacturing medical curtains, table cloth for restaurants and screen barriers which can be used between desks in offices, between seats in theatres or between two tables in restaurants — all from the same PVC material used in making cinema screens.
