During the Valletta Green Festival we present an amazing programme of short ' Green' films and we have the premiere of short animation films made by children during stop motion workshops at the Valletta Green Festival. Films are suitable for all ages.

The concept of Solar Cinema has been travelling the world for ten years, bringing unseen films to unusual places, all powered by 100% solar energy.
