PLANET POWER OPENS AT SMITHSONIAN’S NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM

Brussels (Belgium), March 22, 2018 – The newest giant screen film from N3D LAND Films and nWave Pictures Distribution, Planet Power, will have its world premiere at Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum Lockheed Martin IMAX Theater March 22, 2018. Exploring the history of electricity, the film looks back at scientists who changed the world, like Faraday, Franklin, Edison, and Tesla. And we glimpse the future, following the journey of modern-day adventurers Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, the inspirational team behind the record-breaking Solar Impulse, as they pilot the first plane capable of perpetual flight, powered only by the sun.

The film also explores the challenges ahead: how to meet the growing energy needs of our industrialized world while also protecting the health of our planet. By harnessing abundant renewable natural resources and applying innovative new technologies, the next generation of scientists and adventurers are working to create a sustainable and cleaner energy future.

“An IMAX 3D film is an innovative and very entertaining way of storytelling, and I am sure that it is the medium that best matches the importance and greatness of what we are trying to accomplish.” – Bertrand Piccard, Solar Impulse.

“Planet Power weaves a story of science and adventure that we hope inspires and thrills our audiences. With a unique mix of chalk animation, CGI, archival footage and spectacular aerials, and featuring an emotional musical score, the film uses the immersive giant-screen experience to its full advantage”, said Janine Baker, SVP of nWave Pictures Distribution.
