Half an hour after midnight the last curtain fell on Sunday night.
Or more correctly: The inflatable drive-in cinema screen on the Brucker Volksfestplatz ran out of air after a month and 29 performances.
Fürstenfeldbruck - A year ago, organizer Markus Eisele did not expect that the emergency solution for his corona-related cinema would be repeated.
However, he does not initially assume that there could be a new edition in 2022.
The air screen, which was used for the first time in the drive-in cinema and which was re-inflated every evening, also proved to be a “easier than expected” challenge for head of technology, Tom Blum.
“I was surprised myself how perfectly it worked.” The family film “Raya and the Last Dragon” turned out to be a crowd puller on the first Sunday in the drive-in cinema.
550 parents and their children followed the performance in 200 vehicles.
According to Eisele's meanwhile gathered experience, the Sunday performances are the least attended.

This was recently confirmed when the "Dream Horse" flick flopped so much with the necessary advance online bookings that the evening had to be canceled.
Otherwise, the festival and the wind-prone air-screen backdrop were spared mishaps and weather capers.
“Grateful guests” and especially an email from the hospital will be remembered by Tom Blum.
A patient reported from the hospital, 500 meters away as the crow flies, who also received the sound transmitted to the car radio on a VHF wave and thus had an audio book as a cinema experience in the hospital bed, even without moving images.

As permanent and regular guests, Lucia Winterholler-Pawlak and Susi Bogdahn had steered their camper to a box parking lot several times.
The drive-in cinema and the “uniquely cool atmosphere” in the sunset and under the starry sky were “a film enjoyment at its best” for the two women from Geltendorf.
On the final evening on Saturday, there was also music enjoyment: Before the “Blues Brothers” on the screen provided the crowning happy ending, the audience was no longer in car seats when the live band Cheerio Joe rocked the fairground.
One who spent every evening in front of the big screen but barely had time to look at it was Mona Ragheb.
In her rolling crépes stand, the Grafratherin provided the moviegoers with the French pancakes.
