Open Air Cinema Outdoor Movie System Used to Screen Son of Babylon in Iraq
From the Open Air Cinema archive. Originally published in 2011, on the Son of Babylon director's use of an Open Air Cinema system to screen his film across Iraq. Preserved as a historical record; three sales-CTA passages have been removed.
The director of Son of Babylon, Mohamed Al Daradji, recently returned from Iraq where he used an Open Air Cinema 20' outdoor movie system to screen his movie, Son of Babylon, across the country. Check out this BBC video of Al Daradji on reaction to his film. The portability of the Open Air Cinema inflatable movie screen system enabled Al Daradji to screen his film around the country of Iraq. Son of Babylon was developed with the Sundance Institute and selected as Iraq's official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards. We are thrilled that our outdoor movie systems are being used for such significant projects around the globe, and enjoyed working with Al Daradji to equip him with a system that met the demands of his project. Open Air Cinema's wide range of outdoor movie systems are perfect for filmmakers and anyone wishing to promote their business or interests. An Open Air Cinema portable movie screen allows one to screen content in virtually any location, as they are built to endure winds of up to 30mph and are meant to be used over and over in even the harshest of conditions.
