MUMBAI: The organisers of Stockholm International Film Festival are planning to have a giant ice screen for the twentieth annual film festival scheduled to take place in the Swedish capital from 18 to 29 November.
The screen will supposedly be nearly 5 meters (16.4 feet) wide and will weigh about 10 metric tons. It will be made from slabs of ice that were cut from the frozen Torne River in Sweden‘s far north back in March. The total cost of the project is estimated at approximately 500,000 Swedish crowns ($71,140).
Said festival spokesperson Emelie Klein, "We wanted to do something spectacular that has never been done before. It will be the first time a feature film is shown on an ice screen."
The screen will be set up on 21 November in a still undisclosed location in central Stockholm. Festival organizers say that the ice screen will be used to show two classic movies, the names of which remains undisclosed.
The Stockholm International Film Festival takes place every year in November, with screenings of more than 170 films from more than 40 countries.
