Outdoor Movies.ie

OutdoorMovies.ie are a leading event production company, specialising in open air and pop-up cinema events. We work throughout Ireland and can turn any space into a cinema catering for up to 1000 people. Whatever the event, however large or small, you can be confident our team has the experience gained over many years in the industry to deliver a professional solution that is right for you, your venue and your event.

Our open- air inflatable screen rental packages includes our state-of-the-art digital projector, sound system along and technician. The cinema can be used outdoor or indoor to suit your events needs. With high quality equipment and professional staff, we can guarantee a stunning event.

Our OutdoorMovie Season begins on February 14th and runs through to the end of September.  We do special screenings around the Halloween period and we also do special screenings for the Christmas period as well.

• Phase 2: From June 8th Outdoor Movies will be available to do private home screenings.   As long as we can social distance at your home, we can deliver and set up in your garden.  We would discuss all of this with you over the phone.  Its important to note that this type of screening would be for people living in the house.  The screening would not be for friends or extended members of the family to come over to watch.  If an inflatable screen is requested then Outdoor Movies are there to set up and operate.  If a small pull up screen and equipment is requested then Outdoor Movies will provide the equipment with instructions on how to set up and will collect the equipment the following day.  We are not there to police an event but if our technicians are operating a screening with an inflatable screen and feel that the audience is more then the people living in the house, they will have a right to cancel the screening and there will be no refund.  We will only be able to do private screenings in counties Dublin and Wicklow
• Phase 4: From July 20th we will be able to do the above private screenings in the home place.  The difference being that you will be able to bring friends and extended family to your house to watch the film.  Maximum number of guests will be advised by Government soon.  Again we will only be able to do screenings in Dublin and Wicklow.
• Phase 5: From August 10th we will once again be able to host outdoor events.  A risk assessment plan will need to be put in place and Social distancing will be required, but that should be easily managed and with our giant outdoor screens, social distancing should not be an issue. We can go over this with you on the phone.  Maximum numbers to be advised by the Government at a later stage.  We will be able to do screenings nationwide.

We have on occasion operated a pop up drive in cinema on request.  The number of cars would be restricted though to around 50/60 cars max, and that is very much determined by how the cars are positioned in front of the screen.  With regard to the sound, the sound would be played on our outdoor sound system.  The sound can be heard quite clearly from your car.  Not as good as over a car stereo but good enough.   

​

Delivery Charges:

There are no delivery charges for events in county Dublin.  Delivery charges for outside of the Dublin area apply.  Below are the various different charges depending on the county where the event is due to take place

Notes: 

• Technician is available for one screening only.  For multiple screenings on the same day there will be an additional charge.  These charges are available on request.
  
• We require a 50% deposit to secure your booking.  This deposit is non refundable except in circumstances where the screening is cancelled due to bad weather
• The balance is due at the very latest the day of the event prior to the screening.  No balance paid, no screening, no exceptions!

A 50% deposit is required on all bookings.The balance for the outdoor screening will be due BEFORE the screening takes place.  No Balance.  No Screening.  No Exceptions.

To work out what deposit is due just do the following.

1. Look at the map of Ireland above and check your delivery area

3. Decide which screen you want to hire and check the rate.  Add the the hire rate and the delivery rate together and divide by two.  This will be the deposit amount required to make the booking

For Example:

Booking the 20X15 screen for a weekend screening €800  

Screening is to take place in Louth, delivery therefore is €30

€800 + €30 = €830 divided by 2 = €415.  This is the deposit  required to secure the booking

Deposits are non refundable except in circumstances where a cancellation is required due to bad weather 

You need a licence to screen a film in public either indoors or outdoors.  It doesn't matter if you are trying to raise funds or the event is for charity you must pay the appropriate licence fee. 

It's really important to note that in order to run a successful outdoor screening you must have dusk or darkness.  A screening in daylight is just not possible, even with our most powerful cinema projectors.  For an outdoor screening during day light hours you would need to use an LED screen.  These screens are extremely expensive to hire but if you do have the funds to hire an LED screen (they can be up to €2,000 a day), we highly recommend a company called Mongeys.  You can visit their website here

In order for you to find out what time you can screen on the date you have in mind you should visit this website.  When you visit this website use the tabs to select the month you want to screen.  Down the left hand side of the screen you will see the dates for that particular month.  On the columns on the top of the chart you want to look for the column marked Nautical Twilight End.  This is the time that you will be able to screen from.  In the example below you will see that if we were looking to do a screening on February 14th, ideally we should be looking at screening any time after 1810.
