Indonesia has quarantined its citizens due to the spread of the coronavirus outbreaks. Because of the quarantine, the citizens lack entertainment. One of the things that is being missed is the habit of watching movies in the cinema. Although there is another way of watching a movie like through Netflix, the vibes of the cinema are one of the important things that are missed. Not only the movies, but people also miss the smell of the popcorn and the hype of the release of the new movie.
To bring the joy of the cinema in this pandemic, Drive in Senja was made. Drive in Senja is a drive in cinema in which carries the concept of watching a movie inside the car like what happened back then in the USA.
Ashram Shahrivar, the Co-Founder Drive in Senja, said that the purpose of forming this cinema is to create something new during the pandemic. To wipe out the boredom of the quarantined-citizens also one of the reasons. So that they try to make it as safe and comfortable as possible.
Despite the fact that it is drive in cinema, audiences do not have to worry since they already collaborated with several film parties for the license of the movies. They also work together with several radios. The radio is used to bring the sound to the audience so that they do not have to open the window to hear the sound. Drive in Senja uses the frequency of the radio, so the audiences are able to set the volume of the sound by themselves.
As an alternative cinema in the pandemic, Drive in Senja requires the audiences to follow the health protocols. Both the crews and the audiences have to wear a mask and bring hand sanitizer. Before entering the gate, the car was also sprayed with the disinfectant. The ticket checking was also done by not using a direct check, yet it used online checking.
The price of the tickets around Rp 200.000 – Rp 400.000 and the purchases can be made via Tix ID, Gotix, and Counters. Here are several packages that can be enjoyed :
