The drive-in cinema experience is having a Renaissance amid the COVID-19 pandemic and it shows signs of continuing well beyond the easing of the government-imposed physical distancing measures. For people who have been self-isolating for a while, the opportunity to get out of the house and be entertained in a safe and responsible manner is a lucrative one.
In Dortmund, Germany, the Neovaude organization has curated an aesthetically appealing drive-in cinema experience as the screen is set on the backdrop of the ruin of the Phoenix West steel mill, adding an industrial element with gothic sensibilities to the experience. Starting earlier in mid-April, Neovaude got a head start on the competition.
