Jordan’s Amman International Film Festival (AIFF) has announced this week that the event will open its first drive-in cinema in the country.
The festival also revealed new dates for its inaugural edition that has been postponed due to the global restrictions imposed amid the coronavirus pandemic. It is expected to run from Aug. 23-31.
Its drive-in cinemas will be located at Amman’s New Abdali district, while other screenings will be held at the open-air theatre of Jordan’s Royal Film Commission in Jabal Amman.
AIFF, which focuses on first-time filmmakers in both the Arab world and abroad, will offer audiences feature-length narratives and documentaries, as well as short films.
Each film will only screen once at each venue, to abide by the social distancing guidelines to ensure the visitor’s safety.
