Don't do that.
Filters are not designed to be used after the light has been concentrated. It is quite possible you'll melt a plastic or shatter a glass filter and then destroy the camera.

At short notice the best solution is a make a pin-hole projector. Or do as suggested by Stu and see if there is a group meeting somewhere nearby.
