Africa Sky Cinema was
established by Silver Stone Marketing, to reach people with good
family- and faith-based films by showing these movies on the
biggest mobile screens in Africa. Silver Stone Marketing was
appointed by Tru Jam Productions, the Sole Agent for AIRSCREEN
in Africa, as the exclusive agent for AIRSCREEN in South Africa.
With the easy setup of these screens, you can have a whole
Cinema set up within 1 hour anywhere you like, from the beach to
the desert. With Africa Sky Cinema we can take
good, family-based movies to the people. We need to start
getting the “FAMILY” together again. We believe
this medium can bring families together again! All we need is an
open sports field, parking area, stadium etc. People can bring
their own picnic baskets, blankets and camping chairs and enjoy
a FAMILY NIGHT under one of the most
spectacularly painted ceilings you will ever see, the African
sky.
We also want to show good family based movies, like Golden
Oldies, children’s animations and faith/family movies. Companies
have the opportunity to do on-screen advertising of their
products and services, before or after the show and during
intervals, on the AIRSCREENS.

Our Vision:
Our vision is to bring back family time, to plant the
seeds of family through a new and exciting media, and to
have a positive input into families’ lives.
Currently we
have three screens available for the South African
market: two measure 5m (wide) by 3m (high), which we
refer to as the small screen. The third measures 20m
(wide) by 10m (high), which we refer to as the big
screen. This 20m screen is the biggest available in
Africa.
Airscreen:
Our screens
have two main components: a heavy-duty, black PVC
framework and a white projection screen surface attached
to it via bungee cables. The AIRSCREEN
is a German-manufactured and imported world-class
product and is currently used widely all over Europe,
the USA and Asia. We introduced it to Africa 4 years ago
in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and now South Africa for
the last 8 months.
The screen is erected (like a jumping castle) by air
that is blown into the main frame by a special low-noise
and energy saving air-blower. This blower is the only
electrical component of this screen and it also uses a
normal household electrical connection. A complete
inflation and setup takes anything between 30 min. to
one hour, depending on the size of the screen.
Drive-ins are also a good way to reach people, and we
use wide, open spaces for these types of events.

The screen's stability is made possible by
anchoring it to the ground with eight ropes tied to each top and
bottom corner of the main frame. This anchoring system is
supported by four anchoring weights. Each of the four weights
are positioned adjacent to each corner of the screen - two at
the front and two at the back. Such weights, depending on the
size of the AIRSCREEN, weigh from 20-50kg each
for small screens and 1 ton each for the big screen. We have our
own weights for the small screen and we usually hire 1 ton water
containers for the big screen. A vehicle can also be used to
replace the 1 ton water containers.
The AIRSCREEN is an all-weather product which
can stand firm in cold and rainy environments; it can safely
withstand windy conditions measuring up to 5 on the Beaufort
scale.
At this stage, daytime projection is not available. Suitable
projection times are from 18h30 during winter and 19h00 during
summer. For indoor setups it could be any time of the day,
provided there is an interior darkness of at least 70%.
