An inflatable screen is an inflatable framework with an attached projection screen. Inflatable screens are used for outdoor movies, film festivals, drive-in theaters, sports, social and other events which require outdoor projection,

The frame is typically inflated with the use of a high pressure blower. The blower continues to operate, ensuring the screen remains fully inflated. There are other types of inflatable screens that do not require a permanent inflation as they are virtually airtight and stay inflated without electricity for several days.

In comparison to traditional and heavy steel constructions, inflatable screens can be set up only a few hours before the movie is to start and are taken down immediately after the movie screening. This can be an ideal option for vulnerable environments like parks or botanical gardens and inner city locations with traffic in the daytime. Inflatable screens are also used for mobile cinema and several summer events.
