“Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii”: Essential Information for the screening at the Open Air Theatre of Colonus
Why will tomorrow’s highly anticipated screening of “PINK FLOYD LIVE AT POMPEII”, organized by the 15th Athens Open Air Film Festival powered by DEI, be unlike any other screening of this film to date? Be sure to read the following.
Because not only will the film be shown for the first time in a venue that aesthetically matches the historical monument chosen by Pink Floyd for their concert, but this specific screening will also attempt to recreate the sound and lighting conditions of that legendary 1971 performance — in a natural outdoor setting. This means that analog sound equipment will be used, as close as possible to what Pink Floyd originally employed, and the same goes for the lighting setup that will be used in the Kolonos Theater.
All of this will be overseen by ART OF SOUND, a long-time partner of the Athens Open Air Film Festival. Their high level of professionalism and tireless passion will transform what is already an impressive screening into something truly grand. If you happened to attend the screening of the documentary “DEPECHE MODE: 101” that the Festival held a few years ago at Technopolis — with ART OF SOUND again handling the audiovisual setup — you already know what to expect.
PINK FLOYD LIVE AT POMPEII will be screened tomorrow, Thursday, June 26, at the Open-Air Theater of Colonus, with free admission, tasty treats courtesy of Fischer beer, and a special music set from the Pink Floyd repertoire curated by Thodoris Vassilopoulos as the perfect lead-in to the film.
