Indoor film screening
An indoor film night lives or dies by the picture and the sound. We build a complete film screening in your space, with a large screen or projection, proper blackout and clear sound. That way everyone watches comfortably, from the front row all the way to the back.
A film night that works from picture to sound
Watching a film together only works when the image is large and sharp and the sound reaches everyone. Indoors you have more control over this than outside, but the incoming light, the acoustics and the layout still shape how the screening comes across. We build a complete film screening for you, so all you have to think about is the atmosphere and your guests.
HuurAV runs indoor film screenings on location in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We look at the space, think along about the layout and make sure the picture and sound are in place before the first frames appear. You do not need any technical knowledge yourself: you tell us where, when and for how many people, and we handle the rest.
Large screen, projection and blackout
The choice between a projection screen with a beamer and a large screen depends on the space and the light. Projection gives a large image that looks its best in a well-darkened hall, while a large screen stays bright even with a bit more ambient light. We give you honest advice on which solution suits your space, and you can read more about those trade-offs at picture, screens and projection.
Blackout is decisive for an indoor film screening. We look ahead of time at windows and incoming light and limit it where we can, so the contrast and colours are right. If you would rather hire the picture equipment separately, take a look at our options for video.
Film sound and on-site support
Picture without good sound loses half its impact. With a film, dialogue has to stay intelligible while music and effects get the room they need. We tune the sound setup to the acoustics of the hall, so the sound is spread evenly and does not distort. You can read how we approach that at sound and intelligibility.
We build everything on site, connect your source and test picture and sound before your guests arrive. If you would like someone to stay for the operation, we provide technical support on location. Afterwards we come and collect everything again. To hire equipment separately you can turn to SpeakerVerhuur.nl.

Large screen or projection
Depending on the space and the light, we choose a projection screen with a beamer or a large screen, so the image stays sharp and bright right to the back row.
Film sound with dialogue and music
A sound setup that keeps dialogue intelligible and spreads music and effects evenly across the hall, tuned to the acoustics of the room.
Blackout and setup
We look at the incoming light, build everything on site, test picture and sound and make sure the room is dark enough before the film begins.
Frequently asked questions
How do you achieve a good image in a bright room?
With a lot of ambient light, we look at the blackout and choose the screen and projection that suit it. Wherever possible we limit incoming light, so the image stays sharp and full of contrast instead of washing out.
Can we connect our own film or source?
Yes. You connect your laptop, media player or other source and we make sure the picture and sound come across well. You arrange the choice of film and the screening rights yourself, while we take care of the technology around it.
How many people can watch along?
We scale that with the size of the screen and the sound setup. From an intimate screening for a small group to a larger film night in a hall, we match everything to your audience and the space.
Do you also handle the operation during the evening?
We can. We set everything up, test it all and can stay on site to operate the picture and sound. That way you do not have to control anything yourself and the screening runs smoothly from start to finish.
