I don’t have a local cinema or dvd shop, so I once tried to interest my beloved in the idea of a travelling film caravan, which I’d roam the streets in at night. That idea that was met with some scorn. So I triumphantly bring news of The Sol Cinema – the world’s smallest solar powered cinema.

Love the crow…

The 1960’s upcycled caravan was commissioned by media arts charity Undercurrents and designed and built by Jo Furlong with assistance from (friends?) Ami Marsden and Beth Marsden. It’s powered by the kind of batteries you get in electric cars, which are charged by those solar panels.

It even has its own usherette!

The cinema seats eight adults, is based in South Wales, but is available to hire anywhere in the UK. It’s also touring various festivals this year. Check the dates and venues here.
