Digital summer
Watching old favourites while relaxing in your fold-out chair on balmy summer nights... the open air cinema season is indeed in full swing. Cinemas are opting more and more often for digital technology for their open air screenings.
"It is simpler to put together than a 35mm projector and much less expensive", are just a few of the the reasons Christiane Niewald, programme director of the Potsdamer Inselkino, gives for choosing to go digital for the first time this year. The reaction of her audience is a testament to her decision: "We have received a lot of praise for the technical quality and content of our programme. Premieres and previews have been particularly popular." On the 2nd and 3rd August 2010 WHITE NIGHT WEDDING, from Europe’s Finest catalogue, will feature as a German preview and will, no doubt, bring the audience on the island into full Summer spirit. To follow, Roman Polanski's REPULSION will be screened on 16th August and Monty Python's AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, on 19th August, also on hire from Europe’s Finest.
The team of St Barbach Art Produktion has also discovered an unusual location for a Summer cinematic experience. It organises "Kino am Dach" on the roof of the main library in Vienna, an aesthetically impressive building in the centre of the city. On 28th July, one of the gems of the Europe's Finest catalogue, Truffaut's last film, VIVEMENT DIMANCHE! (1983), will be screened. St Barbach Art Produktion launched the first outdoor cinema in Austria with its "Outdoor Mobile Cinema" (today called "VOLXkino"), and settled with the project "Kino am Dach" on the roof of the library seven years ago. St Barbach Art Produktion is at the forefront of mobile film technology and for temporary operations, digital projectors are particularly suitable to them. To protect the valuable DCP projectors from rain and heat, they developed a heat and rain proof projection cabin. The audience are the only ones for whom St Barbach Art Produktion still cannot predict the weather...
