Private Film 9 Club – A Portable “Pop‑up” Cinema in the Seychelles

(A practical guide for anyone who wants to set up a small, invitation‑only film‑screening group that can move from island to island, beach to resort, or even a private villa)

1. What the “9 Club” Concept Means

| Element | What it looks like | Why it matters | |---------|-------------------|----------------| | Private | Only invited members (typically ≤ 9 people) attend each screening. | Keeps the experience intimate, simplifies licensing, and avoids public‑venue regulations. | | Film | Curated mix of classics, recent releases, documentaries, or themed “movie nights.” | Gives you control over the programme and helps you negotiate rights. | | 9 Club | The name suggests a maximum of nine regular members (or nine seats per session). | Easy to manage, creates a “tight‑knit” community feel, and aligns with the portable set‑up (small screen, modest power). | | Portable | All equipment can be packed into 1‑2 suitcases or a small van and set up in 30‑45 min. | Allows you to move between Mahé, Praslin, La Digue, private islands, resorts, or even a client’s villa. |

2. Legal & Licensing Checklist (Seychelles)

| Step | Action | Details / Resources | |------|--------|----------------------| | a. Business/Club Registration | Register a Private Club with the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) if you plan to collect membership fees or charge admission. | You can also operate as an informal “friends‑only” group; no registration needed if no fees are taken. | | b. Film Copyright Clearance | Obtain Public Performance Rights for every title you show. | Contact the film’s local distributor or a rights‑clearing house (e.g., MGM, Universal, Sony). For older titles, Seychelles Copyright Office can confirm if the work is in the public domain. | | c. Venue Permissions | Even private venues (villa, resort, beach) may require a short temporary event permit from the Ministry of Tourism. | The permit costs are modest (≈ USD 25‑50) and can be obtained online or through the resort’s events team. | | d. Noise & Environmental Rules | Keep sound levels ≤ 85 dB after 10 pm (Seychelles Environmental Protection Act). | Use directional speakers, a sound‑meter app, and respect local wildlife (especially on quieter islands). | | e. Insurance | Liability insurance covering equipment damage and third‑party injury. | Local insurers (e.g., Seychelles Insurance Company) offer short‑term “event” policies. | | f. Import/Customs (if you bring gear) | Declare any electronic equipment when entering Seychelles; you may need a temporary import permit if the gear exceeds US $2 000. | The Seychelles Revenue Commission provides a “Temporary Admission” form (TD‑001). | private film 9 club private in seychelles portable

The "Portable" Revolution

The word "portable" is what separates this club from a static private theater. Traditional home cinemas are anchored to basements or penthouse suites. The Private Film 9 Club’s setup is engineered by a German-Swiss firm specializing in expedition-grade AV equipment.

The portable system weighs under 220 kilograms and packs into three Pelican-style cases that fit into the cargo hold of an AgustaWestland AW109 helicopter. The kit includes: Private Film 9 Club – A Portable “Pop‑up”

Assembly requires a three-person crew flown in separately. Within one hour, a deserted stretch of Anse Source d’Argent becomes a state-of-the-art cinema. Within two hours, it vanishes without a trace.
