Should you long for more exciting moments, the 4D cinema in the Hangar loft is waiting for you. Enjoy archive footages of the early days of aviation in the company of historical airplanes.
Luckily, film already existed, when the first airplane was built! Today, we just grab our camera from our pocket and record our experiences. Film and flying are just over 100 years old. The golden age of aviation coincided with the golden age of film, and there are wonderful archive footages left from this era. The airplane of the Wright brothers in the USA took off in 1903 in Kitty Hawk. In Hungary, French engineer Louis Blériot was the first to fly an airplane in Budapest, in October 1909. Hungarian cinema began in 1896, when the first screening of films was held in the café of the Royal Hotel of Budapest. In June 1896, Arnold and Zsigmond Sziklai opened the first Hungarian movie theatre on Andrássy Street, named the “Okonograph”. Due to a lack of interest, the theatre soon closed, but this new form of entertainment soon broke its way through. By 1911, there were already 100 movie theatres operating in Budapest. At that time, people were amazed by the moving picture. Today, we think in 4D. Since 2013, the Hungarian audience of 4D cinemas can enjoy various effects, including sounds, lights, motions and scents.
Not everyone enjoys a vampire from the screen tickling one’s neck, but the majority of people are pleased with the 4D experiences. The movie theatre becomes a simulator, so the experience is similar to the one felt by the audience of the first movie theatres trying to run for their lives as the train on the screen seemingly headed towards them. Almost every movie can be transformed into a 4D work. A movie in the 4D cinema of the RepTár can be the crown of a fabulous day in Szolnok.
