The Hydra Open Air Cinema will bring the region’s largest outdoor movie screen to the UAE to play popular films for 12 nights each in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

The giant, over 4000 square foot screen rises six stories high and is accompanied by a 32 speaker digital surround sound system playing Bollywood, Arabic and Hollywood blockbusters.

The Dubai show will take place from November 4 to 15 while the Abu Dhabi show will be from November 25 to December 6.

“At nightfall, the unforgettable show experience begins,” said Farzin Samadian, the CEO of Swiss OpenAir Concept.

“Swiss Open Air offers so much more than mere screenings, the most important part being our careful selection of a first-class site with an outstandingly attractive atmosphere. Another key ingredient for an unforgettable Swiss Open Air evening is the catering we provide.”

“The high-quality cuisine, with selected beverages to suit, is so attractive that many guests arrive hours before screening time in order to relish the atmosphere with their friends,” he added.

“There is an exciting musical prelude, full of anticipation and an outstanding lighting show which are the special ingredients of the Swiss Open Air experience.”

Swiss Open Air screens were first developed in 1993 as the world’s largest hydraulically erected mobile screens. Despite their enormous size and weight (up to 70 tons), the screens can be dismantled for convenient transport and are constantly on tour around the world playing to movie lovers in cities such as Zurich, Basel and Sydney.-TradeArabia News Service
