3.000 personas disfrutan de proyección inmersiva de Infierno Azul en Cala Cortina

Close to 3,000 people vibrated this Saturday, June 14, in Cala Cortina with the immersive screening of the movie Blue Hell. The initiative, organized by the City Council and the Sombra Festival, offered attendees the opportunity to enjoy this film in which a white shark is the protagonist, from the urban beach. They did it comfortably on rafts or from the sand. The City Council implemented a security device for the event, which included dissuasive parking lots and a reinforcement of the bus service.

The approximately 3,000 attendees were able to enjoy this 2016 film while floating on rafts, in an activity that combined cinema, nature, and adrenaline: an immersive experience in every sense. In this way, it is a different screening that pays homage to the term ‘summer blockbuster’. 150 rafts were distributed, although attendees could bring their own or watch from the beach.

The activity started at 8:00 p.m. with a DJ session by Hellions, who went through a selection of rock, metal songs, including songs from the participating bands in the Rock Imperium Festival. There were also beer trucks and various activities that complemented this original activity.
