Hydra Properties will be the title sponsor of the giant, over 4000 square foot, screen which raises six stories high and is accompanied by a 32 speaker digital surround sound system playing Bollywood, Arabic and Hollywood blockbusters.

Charisma events is the exclusive representative for the Swiss-based global entertainment giant Swiss OpenAir concept in the UAE.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi will each host 12 nights of Hydra Open Air Cinema, taking place from November fourth to the 15th at Madinat Jumeirah Dubai and from the 25th of Nov to the 6th of December at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.

"At nightfall, the unforgettable show experience begins."
says Farzin Samadian, the CEO of Swiss OpenAir Concept.

"Swiss Open Air offers so much more than mere screenings, the most important part of the Swiss Open Air concept is 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."
Samadian said.

The screen lies unobtrusively across the water or land during daylight hours and at nightfall is hydraulically raised in under five minutes to stand six stores high.

"In only five minutes, our Giant Screen arises from its 'sleeping' position ready for the show. This is an exciting musical prelude, full of anticipation and an outstanding lighting show which are the special ingredients of the Swiss Open Air experience."
Samadian says.

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.

Time Out Dubai & Ahlan English magazines are the media partners for the event while Virgin Megastore is the contributing sponsor.
