THE world's first film premiere in a solar-powered cinema tent was held in Leicester Square last night.

The star of The Age of Stupid, Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite, was joined on a green carpet by X-Files star Gillian Anderson, model Keeley Hazell and former mayor Ken Livingstone.

The environmental film was broadcast via satellite link in a attempt to reach a record 16,000-strong premiere audience. It is set in a devastated world in 2055, and looks back to 2008 and why climate change was not halted.

The Age of Stupid is due for release on 20 March and ticket sales profits go to the Not Stupid climate campaign.
