A bike-and-solar-powered pop-up cinema is pedalling its way into Dr Neil’s Garden this Saturday. Situated on the edge of the Duddingston Loch, in the shadow of Arthur's Seat, the Secret Garden Cinema could not be situated in a more serene and green part of the city.
Edinburgh’s latest cinema experience will aim to get the audience involved, quite literally, from the opening sequence to the finishing credits. The 40-seater mobile cinema, run by charity Take One Action, will encourage people to jump on a bike during the film to help keep the power levels up and the film running.
All three film sessions will showcase productions which relate to environmental issues and climate justice. The Wee Green Cinema serves to reinforce and highlight the way in which power is used and the decisions that humans make in its consumption.
The Secret Garden Cinema takes place on Saturday March 14, with Session One between 1pm and 2.30pm, Session Two between 3pm and 4.45pm, and Session Three between 6pm and 8pm. The 6pm screening will include a screening of 'Growing Cities', the trailer for which you can take a look at below. Tickets are available online.
