Outdoor cinema 2018

As I have done in some previous years, I am also doing voluntary work in the cinema Elektriteater's summer outdoor cinema this year. So far I have helped out for 4 nights.
The day starts at about 20.00 when we start assembling the inflatable screen. Then we set up chairs and speakers, bring warm blankets and do other necessary things. Then, at 23.00, the movie starts. When the movie ends about two hours later, we do the same things but in reverse. Fold the screen back together, carry the chairs inside, roll up cables etc.
The cinema people and other volunteers are nice and friendly and the nights also serve as a pretty good workout, as there is a lot of lifting and carrying things from one place to another.
I have so far managed to see "Seltsimees Laps" and a Greek movie called "Pity". Plus, I have really enjoyed seeing "Call Me By Your Name" and "Arrival" for the second time, as they are some of my favourite movies.
Wednesday night, 01:44, after the screen was deflated, but the movie projector remained projecting a still from "Call Me By Your Name" on to this old factory building that has been turned into an art gallery.
