Welcome to the Groovy Movie Picture House: The World's First Mobile Solar Powered Cinema.
Redbridge Green Fair 2009
The Redbridge Green Fair is a community festival organised by local volunteers. It’s called “green” because it is all about planet Earth – the environment and the people. On May 24th, thousands of local people poured into Melbourne Field in Valentines Park, Ilford, Essex, on a roasting hot day.
The Groovy Movie Picture House Solar Cinema was of of the main attractions at the Green Fair. We screened "Sita Sings the Blues" - a wonderful animated feature film by one of our favorite contributing filmmakers, Nina Paley. We also showed a selection of unusual animations for the kids, and some short films about the environment : On the Push, about environmentally friendly surfing. Eco Village Pioneers, about low impact housing projects. Bike2oz, about an epic overland cycle trip. The Solar Cinema was very popular, and we have been asked back to the next Redbridge Green Fair in two years time.
