We can start showing a film after sunset, but ideally 15 minutes after. We can also provide lighting after the show, so people can leave safely and easily.
North Star Outdoor Cinema has a partnership with Swank Motion Pictures and Criterion USA. Both Swank and Criterion have over 40,000 titles ready to ship. Depending upon your audience, we can assist in making recommendations.
Rain will not affect the picture quality. We use permeable screens made of a lycra stretch material that allow wind to pass freely between the pores of the fabric and water simply rolls off the frame. Unlike other movie screens that cannot be used in many outdoor situations our inflatable screens are extremely durable and stunning to look at. We’re able to stop the screening at anytime to wait for a heavy shower to pass. Starflicks Outdoor Cinema uses state of the art screens with many tie down points and guide lines to prevent the screen from moving. However, if the wind rises above 20 knots, we suggest that the event be rescheduled. We take the time to check the weather forecast prior to your event, so that you don’t have to.
North Star Outdoor Cinema requires a 24 hr cancellation notice. If weather conditions look threatening upon our arrival, we reserve the right to protect our equipment by delaying the set-up (until suitable weather conditions exist) or even canceling the show.
In the event of an incident involving North Star Outdoor Cinema equipment or employees of any outside participant is covered by Starflicks Outdoor Cinemas event liability insurance coverage.
NO! As the equipment provider, it is not legal to obtain the license for you. We supply you with the Film License contact information and help guide you in direction for ordering the movie title. Please see Film licensing for more information. In some cases you may not be required to purchase the film rights.
If your event is cancelled or rescheduled, you can still retain your movie rights for up to 12 months. Simply contact the licensing agent for more information.
