Solar Cinema: The Groovy Movie Picture House

Even in this age of DVDs and movies on iPods, there is nothing like the collective experience of sharing a movie. In the UK, it”s a moveable treat: The Groovy Movie Picture House is a 45 foot diameter portable cinema, “with full blackout lining, a coconut matting floor, providing a cosy venue for daytime or night time screenings for audiences of over 150.” Now they have gone solar: “All of our power requirements are provided by eight large, highly visible solar panels, which charge a large battery bank, providing electricity for screenings during bad weather.” It is “an exciting demonstration of green technology in action!”
