So, the end of this story is that the physical event ended up cancelled due to the statewide COVID-19 lockdown. If anyone is interested in the online event, go to https://online.farsouthfilmfestival.com and enjoy. However, we did test powerline ethernet as a solution and I have to say it worked extremely well. It's a small cinema and the (two) powerline ethernet units were on a circuit by themselves. Just to make sure, we fired up the projectors, the pop-corn makers, the registers and the neon lighting and opened the coolers until they started running, and with all that the comms didn't miss a beat. We ran the curtain-pullers and got a bit of surround sound going; we even raised and lowered the house lights - generally an electromagnetically noisy affair - with no perceptible effect on our network. So I'm definitely going to add a couple of powerline ethernet units to my bag of tricks. We will almost certainly be using that venue in the future, so it's nice to know we have a solution. And we didn't even need to break out the nailguns and hot glue! :-) Once again, my gratitude to all those who helped out with ideas and suggestions.
