Summer night, good company, a cold drink, popcorn, and a good film: an ideal plan, both for the kids and for the adults. It requires a bit of investment and effort, and yet you and your gang will reap the benefits throughout the session\u2026 or throughout the summer.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are companies that are professionally specialized in it, such as <\/span>MEDIRFLASH SL<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Mestras Videocinema<\/span><\/a>, with sixty-five years of experience and a catalogue of more than fifty films (half of them, in Catalan), which can <\/span>set up an open-air cinema in a jiffy<\/b>. These companies offer the advantage of a comprehensive service, with which we can forget about assembly and management. <\/span>Of course, we have to adapt to the existing offer<\/b>, without much room for creativity and imagination. Quite the opposite of what we propose here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Requirements for using the space<\/b><\/h3>\n

For viewers, the main goal when one of these sessions starts is to find the best possible place, right in the centre, and to enjoy the film!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who organize it, however, the event calls for a certain <\/span>dedication and preparation<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we have enough space in the private sphere, this should be our favourite option; it will be <\/span>much more comfortable to condition<\/b> and, we will avoid the payment of the legal rights to show films in public spaces. This year, in addition, with the Covid-19 pandemic, we will have to apply all the recommendations for the prevention of contagion, and this will also be easier in our private space.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we have to use a <\/span>public space, the first requirement will be to obtain permission <\/b>from the City Council or the institution that owns it. We also need to know that the screening of a film in a non-private space requires <\/span>public display rights and copyright<\/b>, as we will explain later.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The technical infrastructure<\/b><\/h3>\n

The essential technical infrastructure consists of the three basic elements of all cinemas: <\/span>screen, projector, and sound<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n
