Lithuania airport transformed into makeshift cinema

A cargo airplane took off from Vilnius airport on Thursday (April 30), while just a few hundred meters away people watched a movie from their cars at a makeshift drive-in cinema on the airport tarmac.

Airport turned movie theatre 160 vehicles showed up Location: Vilnius, Lithuania to watch Oscar-winning film ''Parasite'' in a makeshift cinema on the airport tarmac (SOUNDBITE) (English) DIRECTOR OF VILNIUS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, ALGIRDAS RAMASKA, SAYING: "Since the airport was closed we thought that it would be a very good option to make it accessible for people to come here, inside the airport and watch the films and to feel a little sense of travel, watching and seeing all the planes around." Aircraft routes were redrawn to avoid jet blasts during the show and spare radio frequency was used to beam sound into vehicles (SOUNDBITE) (English) 34-YEAR-OLD AIRPORT CINEMA GUEST, EGLE RIBACIAUSKAITE, SAYING: "I think this is a very good idea.

Actually, I haven't been here at the airport in a car, I was only on a plane here.

So it's a really an amazing thing to come here and to watch a movie here at the airport."
