Signature production
A 73-foot screen on the pitch at the Vélodrome
without a trace.
Orange Vélodrome Stadium, Marseille. Orange hosts “Faisons Cinéma”. The brief imposes a technical constraint impossible for any other supplier: no lifting equipment on the pitch, to avoid damaging it. For a 73-foot screen, this should be a dealbreaker.
The challenge
The impossible set of specifications
The Stade Orange Vélodrome is the home ground of Olympique de Marseille. Its pitch, which is monitored down to the last centimetre, does not allow any heavy machinery: no cranes, forklift trucks or lorries are permitted on the grass.
Yet installing a 73-foot-wide cinema screen usually requires several tonnes of structure, trucks on site, and cranes to erect the projection surface. All suppliers approached by Orange declined: too heavy, too dangerous for the lawn.
The Hallucine solution
When being three times lighter becomes a decisive factor
A 73-foot Hallucine inflatable screen weighs a third of what the competition does — around 618 lbs when folded, and can be carried by hand by a small team. No crane. No trolley. No machinery on the grass.
Our team carried the folded screen to the center of the pitch, unfolded it, inflated it in under an hour using a portable blower, and secured it with an anchoring system that does not damage the ground.
No heavy machinery. No marks. No damage. The lawn came out of the event looking just as it did before.

The result
Orange had its event. Marseille had its pitch left untouched.
“Faisons Cinéma” brought the people of Marseille together for a screening right in the heart of the stadium — a scene that could not be replicated anywhere else, and could not have been staged without Hallucine technology.
To this day, this achievement remains our most concrete proof that an ultra-lightweight screen does not mean compromising on size: quite the opposite. That is what makes it possible to undertake projects that no one else can.
Why it’s unique
No other supplier can do this
Competitors (Airscreen, Open Air Cinema, etc.) use frame structures or inflatable screens 2 to 3 times heavier. On protected ground like a stadium lawn, this requires a crane or trolley — which neither regulations nor the LFP allow.
To the best of our knowledge, our 73-foot blower screen is the only screen of this size in the world that can be installed without heavy machinery. This is what enables us to access sites that are ‘off-limits’ to our competitors: stadium pitches, protected beaches, historic gardens and the decks of cruise ships.
