Looks like a Back Projector to me - the blacks are pretty "sat-up" (i.e. not very black) - often a sign of projection being used. As for space, you don't actually need as much as you might think. You can put the projector in a rig which fires it up and bounces it off a mirror onto the screen. It's an effective solution if space is tight behind a tight set, though the rig and mirror can be heavy, cumbersome and a beggar to adjust!
Yep - very likely to be rear projection. As deejay says you can use folded mirror systems to reduce the distance required (effectively you mount the projector just below the screen - and firing away - and use a mirror to bounce back onto the screen. Most projectors allow you to scan reverse to keep things the right way round if you need to) Equally projectors can now use VERY wide angle lenses with very short throws. The folded mirror allows a longer throw though - which can reduce hot-spotting.

Is that projector screen real or superimposed? I wouldn't have thought there was space for back projection there!
