Cinemas are closed during mandatory isolation because they are places where a large conglomerate of people is generated. When the measures were just announced, empty seats had been asked to be left among the people and then the activity stopped completely. They are quotes that bring together a lot of audiences, as is the case with recitals, and it is something that goes against preventive social estrangement. This context would bring about the return of an old format for watching movies: the drive-in. The company Cinergia plans to resort to this method with the necessary health measures.
The company’s drive-ins feature screens measuring 16m x 10m total, allowing a view for 400 cars. The audio of the film is output by an FM and tunes to each car, being able to adjust the volume and equalization at ease. For the projection they use a new technology of projectors that instead of using traditional lamp have a Led + Laser that allows you greater power and better colorimetry.” Families enjoy the features a lot. For the younger ones it is usually the first contact with this experience and for parents it is the opportunity to relive a little of their childhood” says Gastón Sztutwojner, creator of Cinergia, who are dedicated to assembling inflatable screens anywhere in the country. From the company they pointed out that they are in dealing with several locations to make drive-ins with free and free entry, but we still do not want to announce anything to be prudent and respect quarantine. The drive-in format was born in 1933, in the United States and its heyday came after World War II. They were mounted in fixed locations, with sound entering the car by means of a speaker and a giant structural screen. The decline occurred in the ’70s and ’80s, due to the high cost of locations, the emergence of color TV, video players and other factors that led to the closure of the vast majority of drive-ins worldwide.
