The Groovy Movie Picture House is a unique and versatile multi-media venue for outdoor events, specially designed to provide the ideal home for film screenings, performances and presentations. Using a combination of cutting edge Audio/Visual and lighting technology, the Groovy Movie Picture House can host exciting new digital arts performances, as well as more traditional entertainment. The innovation goes right down to our power source. All of our electricity is generated "on location" by an array of solar panels. This gives us clean, green and silent energy. It lowers our carbon footprint, boosts the environmental profile of each event we attend, and provides a fun and inspiring demonstration of Green Technology in action.

The Groovy Movie Solar Cinema is entertaining, educational and environmental. We have provided all night entertainment at Glastonbury Festival and Bestival. We have hosted film festivals from Amsterdam to the English Riviera and inspired young people with visits to schools and youth groups. We have put fun into environmental awareness at Green Fairs and community events across the country.

Special film presentations for 2011 in the Groovy Movie Picture House:
JUST DO IT THE GROOVY MOVIE PICTURE HOUSE IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE MUSIC FESTIVAL PREMIERE OF "JUST DO IT" AT GLATONBURY FESTIVAL, THURSDAY JUNE 23rd at 10pm & SATURDAY JUNE 25th at Midnight.
Just Do It is the upcoming feature documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Emily James offering a behind the scenes portrait of UK climate activists . The individuals in the film have picked up the mantle of civil disobedience and direct action – chaining themselves to Parliament, super-gluing themselves to bank trading floors, and attacking coal power stations en-mass.
Just Do It is crowd funded, freeing the film from the constraints of broadcasters. Through a totally unique production model that embraces crowd-funding and the power of working collectively, this film is breaking new ground in independent production. But they need your support.

Beating The Bomb
- A film about the history of the peace movement. Made by two independent film makers over three years, it is a film about the biggest weapons of mass destruction ever created, the people who use them and, more importantly, it is about the people who fight them. Featuring Tony Benn, Mark Thomas and Vivienne Westwood.

Mark Thomas has offered us his recording of his live show, ridiculing the laws governing protests...
Serious Organised Criminal
- This is how Mark fought the law ... with the law's permission! It is a laugh out loud funny world inhabited by anarchists, Goths, artists and the Westminster Constabulary, in which Mark becomes a Guinness World Record holder, organises 2,500 protests in one day and changes the law in the process.

Big thanks to Nina Paley for her feature length animated masterpiece
Sita Sings the Blues
Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina
is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email.
Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern
comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic
Ramayana.
Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues
earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."
