Open Air Cinema Provides Inflatable Movie Screens to NGOs in Africa at Subsidized Rate

Open Air Cinema launched a subsidized program to supply NGOs and small business owners in Africa with complete inflatable cinema systems — screen, projector, speakers, sound mixer, and generator — all transportable in a single Land Rover. The program includes training, technical support, and reduced pricing for qualifying organizations.

In Rwanda, OAC partnered with the Rwanda Cinema Center to support “Hillywood,” a traveling film festival visiting seven locations over seven days and drawing up to 10,000 attendees per screening. OAC screens have also served FilmAid in refugee camps in Kenya and Tanzania. “Our inflatable movie screens and systems can be made available anywhere, even in the bush,” said Stuart Farmer, president of Open Air Cinema.
