Solar Cinema

Algemene informatie

Solar Cinema operates in The Netherlands and is the founder of the international network of solar powered cinemas - Solar World Cinema.

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 is the Solar Cinema itself an innovative tool that brings sustainable solutions in people’s daily life, but it also brings inspiring content as part of its important mission. Therefore we programme inspirational and artistic short films in our ongoing Go Greener Shorts film programme: a selection of inspiring, fresh, non moralistic short films that have a green or sustainable message or theme. These films are screened around the world in all the Solar Cinema network.
