Cinema is a application with a long history and has had several different incarnations. This is the home of the new version which we have called "cinema-mx".
Cinema itself is now available here. There are several different versions here. "cinema-XXX" is the most recent versioned release. Its probably the one to go for. "cinema-cvs" is the bleeding edge version from the CVS, "cinema-latest" is a build from my source (which is even more bleeding edge than the last". Finally and probably most sensibly In all cases you should just download either the .tar.gz or .zip file, and unpack it, and use one of the launch files in the bin/ subdirectory.
At the current time Cinema is only available as a single "source and binary" download. Hopefully in time I shall package it as a binary only distribution which should reduce the size considerably.
