Designer Jo Furlong was commissioned by the Undercurrents arts charity to make the theater. The Sol Cinema consists of two [recycled caravan berths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-vehicle-gt39) fitted with [solar panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eo-canopy) to charge up the lithium-ion batteries. The movie house can accommodate 8 to 12 people and screens comedy, music videos and short films with eco-conscious themes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Renewable Energy-powered Entertainment:** There is an opportunity to create other forms of entertainment venues that are powered by renewable energy and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Green Event Spaces:** There is a potential for creating event spaces that are environmentally friendly and promote sustainability, such as green concert venues or festival spaces. - **Eco-conscious Film-going:** There is a trend towards eco-conscious movie theaters and film festivals that showcase films with themes centered around sustainability, the environment, and social responsibility. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can explore opportunities in developing eco-friendly entertainment venues and powering existing ones with sustainable energy sources. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can pivot to a more sustainable model by building green event spaces and providing eco-conscious options for consumers. - **Film:** The film industry can incorporate sustainability themes and eco-friendly practices into their productions, venues, and events to attract a more environmentally conscious audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Pop-Up Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-offgrid-cabin.md) - [Cinema Screen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinema-screen-lamp.md) - [Powerful All-Electric Solar Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-hd-trailer.md) - [Projector-Replacing Cinema Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinema-led-screens.md) - [Solar-Powered Sleek Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris.md) - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Eco-Friendly Cafe Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-coffee-truck.md) - [Discarded Theater Screen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discarded-theater-screen.md) - [Electric Solar-Powered Campers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l1-trailer.md)
