DRIVE-IN MOVIES

The movie screen is rising again at the Beretich parking lot in Rijeka, where a new edition of drive-in movie theater is being held in May, organized by'' Art-kino'' and the ''Filmaktiv'' association.

The drive-in movie theater program is returning to Rijeka, where the people of Rijeka, from the safety of their car, after a break of almost two months, can once again enjoy the charms of big screen movies.

The month of May is marked by film classics, and the program at Beretich opens on Saturday, May 9 at 9 pm with the humorous drama Dangube (I Vitelloni, 1953), by the great Italian cinematographer Federico Fellini.

For the next two Saturdays in May, 16 and 23 May, people will be able to watch the masterpiece of the French new wave Jean-Luc Godard Until the Last Breath (À bout de souffle, 1960) and the legendary western Sam-Peckinpaha The Wild Bunch (1969).

In order to ensure additional safety measures in the maintenance of the program, in accordance with the recommendations of the competent institutions, screenings can be attended only by visitors in vehicles (maximum two people in the vehicle, unless it is a family with children), and stay in the vehicle is mandatory during the program , with the front left window lowered. As in previous years, the audio recording will be available via the assigned radio frequency.

Since this is the first public program in the city of Rijeka after the onset of the coronavirus crisis, which aims to awaken a sense of belonging and togetherness with valuable films, the program is free for all visitors, with prior reservation.
