Outdoor film festivals have always made for a good time, and recent technological innovations, such as larger-than-life inflatable screens, make today’s outdoor film festivals even more exciting! Now your organization can take advantage of mild spring and summer evenings to screen films outdoors in high definition and with cutting edge sound on an inflatable movie screen. If you want your next film festival to run smoothly, then be sure these three "must haves" are on your list:

1. A Common Theme

While it is good to have a variety of film genres at your festival, try to find a common theme that is shared amongst the film lineup. Having a theme makes it much easier to advertise the festival, and themed festivals will seem better organized and therefore more appealing to attendees. Ideas such as films shot in one location, a series like James Bond or Harry Potter have worked for other festivals and weekly series. The great news is that there are so many titles to pick from.

2. Inflatable Movie Screens

There is no better way to present a highly anticipated film for the than on a gigantic inflatable movie screen in a dramatic outdoor setting. Inflatable movie screens vary in quality, price, height and width, so you can rent or buy smaller ones for movies that are likely to draw smaller turnouts and get an enormous inflatable screen and projector for the movies for larger outdoor movie events and film festivals. These screenings are often the highlight of a film festival or other event.

3. A Public Relations Team

Hiring a public relations team or even a single publicist will help draw attention to your film festival, giving it legitimacy and notoriety. It will also make your independent movie directors thankful for the opportunity to get some press without having to hire their own press agents. Keep in mind that inflatable movie screens will help serve as great PR tools because they draw the attention of passersby and create a lot of buzz around an event.
