SOLAR WORLD CINEMA

LINKING EUROPE TO FILM AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

Solar World Cinema is a travelling mobile open-air cinema powered by solar energy.  The solar cinema tour is a cross-border project with partners such as film festivals, film schools, non-governmental organizations, and individual initiatives. The project strengthens economic and social cohesion between its participants; it promotes cultural diversity through film, and encourages the use of sustainable energy. Moreover, it creates new European and world networks from which all the partners can benefit and where they can exchange knowhow and draw strength.

ABOUT SOLAR CINEMA
