General Information
Solar World Cinema is an international network of Mobile Cinemas with all audiovisual equipment (inflatable screen, sound and projection) 100% powered by solar energy; a sustainable open-air cinema. The Solar World Cinema network strives to create a worldwide network of solar powered mobile cinemas, that reach out to electricity and culturally deprived areas, bringing unseen films to unusual places.
Mission and Objectives

The mission of Solar World Cinema is to democratize the access to cinema, creating a special platform to screen films with social matters for free, turning public spaces into self-sustainable open-air cinemas. The solar cinema brings unseen films to unusual places.
Our objective is to raise awareness and stress the importance of switching to renewable energies. This awareness is embedded in the daily life of the audience by organizing free screenings, workshops and cultural activities.
Furthermore we are an alternative distributor of independent cinema that reaches an audience in remote places that are normally difficult to reach. We go beyond the borders of the traditional cinematic world.
Not only the Solar Cinema itself is an innovative tool that brings sustainable solutions in people’s daily life, but also bringing inspiring content is an important mission. Therefore we program inspirational and artistic short films in our ongoing Go Greener Shorts film program: a selection of inspiring, fresh, non moralistic short films that have a green or sustainable message or theme.

Main Projects / Activities

Open air film screenings
Workshops
