Open-air cinemas have long been popular in the West. In Russia, this is a relatively new entertainment, which already has many fans. Basically, young people become spectators of cinema in nature, but the whole family go to some cinemas, for example, in Gorky Park.
Open-air cinema is summer entertainment, therefore, in countries with an average climate, it is very limited in time. Nevertheless, it is becoming popular in Russia. So far, only Moscow can boast of the largest number of open cinemas, but other cities in the country are trying to keep up. There are eight places in the capital where you can watch movies in the fresh air.
The cinema on Strelka was opened in 2011 in the courtyard of the Institute of Media, Architecture and Design of the same name on Bersenevskaya Embankment. As a rule, festival screenings take place here, but sometimes there are themed days, for example, of a certain country or genre. Movies are shown late, starting at 10 pm, and sometimes movies run all night. In cold weather, the organizers supply the audience with pillows and blankets.
The summer cinema in the Green Hangar of the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art is more weatherproof, it has a roof. It has reclining seats typical of cinemas and has VIP seats. At first, only festival films were shown here, but later they came up with the idea of organizing screenings of premieres of the past year. Films are shown all night on Fridays and Saturdays, usually with one theme.
Park them. Gorky, the famous resting place of Muscovites, also offered its guests newfangled entertainment. In August 2012, the Pioneer cinema with a unique screen design was opened here. The wall, entwined with plants, is covered with a screen cloth in the late afternoon. The repertoire of "Pioneer" is designed for a wide audience, besides, here you can buy popcorn, which is rarely found in other similar places.
Cinema in nature has a certain disadvantage, it is a quickly dissipating sound. In a silent cinema in the courtyard of the Flacon plant, this problem is solved by means of individual headphones, hence the name. It shows not only feature films, but also documentaries, as well as video clips and animated films.
In the summer of 2012, a cinema screen with a diagonal of about 7 meters was installed on Vorobyovy Gory. This is a place for fans of auteur films and documentaries of the Docker project.
The repertoire of the summer cinema on the roof of the Artplay Center changes every week, with screenings taking place on Fridays and Saturdays. You can while away the day before the session, soaking up the sun in cozy hammocks or playing beach volleyball.
There is also a so-called mobile cinema in Moscow, which opens in a new location every time. Moreover, it can be rented together with a mechanic. Films can be watched directly from the car, and the price is fixed regardless of how many people are in the car. Basically, there are Hollywood films intended for a wide audience. You can call the waiter and order food directly to the salon.
Another auto-cinema is called Borodino. It is located in Mytishchi near Moscow. The sound is broadcast on car radios, and the repertoire includes only Hollywood hits, and not the first freshness. However, such places do not always go to see a movie. It is also an original way to spend a date.
