Abidar Open Air Cinema

Abidar Open Air Cinema, one of the biggest outdoor cinemas, was built by mayor Ardavan Nosoudi in 1995 over the Amireih valley in Sanandaj, capital city of Kurdistan, Iran. There used to show a movie every Friday. Until just a few years ago, the only video that could be played in the Abidar cinema was by 35 mm movie projectors and using other sources like TV, DVD, etc. was not possible. The sound was then broadcast through the transmitter, people were listening through radio using FM broadcast band frequency but that was not comfortable because of the audio and video was not synchronize. Recently it is switched from 35mm film to Digital Cinema projector. Using DLP Cinema offers a perfect resolution of 1080*2048 with 1:2000 contrast, in 3D with bright, stunning clarity.
