“Sail-In Cinema will offer the public the unique chance to watch their favorite movies, from land or water, on an enormous, floating screen under open skies. With this year’s theme of “Books to Big Screen” movie-goers will have the opportunity to experience – or re-experience – some of their favorite stories in a very unique way.” said Deborah Wilson, PortsToronto Vice President, Communications and Public Affairs.
Celebrating its sixth year, PortsToronto’s Sail-In Cinema has grown to become a “not-to-be-missed” summer outing for the entire family at Sugar Beach in Toronto, Canada, attracting up to 11,000 people on land and 100 boats over the three-day period. This year’s event promises a truly memorable cinematic experience with custom configured audio and cinema-quality digital projectors. Audiences will have the opportunity to view their favorite films on a two-sided inflatable screen with a 40 x 20-foot viewing surface, which sits in a four-story frame and weighs more than 700 lbs. making it one of the largest outdoor movie screens in North America. The screen will sit on a 60 x 90-foot barge that was custom-made for the Sail-In Cinema event.
Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. each night between August 18-20, 2016 with the film starting at approximately 8:00 p.m. A program of pre-film fun for all ages, including giveaways, entertainment and treats will once again be offered by Sail-In Cinema sponsors.
