Every year in August, over 180000 cinema-goers converge on the small Swiss-Italian town of Locarno for their annual film festival. This year is the festival’s 62nd year and this year they contracted a company named Kuurne to supply the theater equipment for both the indoor and outdoor screenings. One of the biggest events during the festival is the open-air screening outside Locarno’s historic Piazza Grande. This year the theater will be supplied with Barco’s DP-3000 projector. This model is on of Barco’s best and features 30000 ANSI lumens, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, and a 2k HD (2048 x 1080) resolution. ‘We wanted to provide the Locarno Film Festival with the best possible technologies,’ says Fabrice Testa, XDC International’s vice president of sales and business development. ‘The Piazza Grande is our biggest challenge, and we needed a projector bright enough to illuminate a 26 meter screen in open air. After last year’s success with the DP-3000, we opted again for this digital cinema projector.’ In addition to the main event at the Piazza, Barco will also supply several other DP series projectors for other venues during the festival.
