Screening of “Power Station” with Dan Edelstyn & Howard Johns

Thursday December 4th
Doors & drinks at 6pm; Film starts 6.30pm

This event is now fully booked. There isn't a waiting list and we won't be issuing tickets on the door. 

Power Station (90mins, 2025) is the new film by artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn. It began in the depths of lockdown with the question ‘'what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?’

Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, they decided to turn their street in Walthamstow into an energy-generating powerhouse – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives.

Directed by the duo, Power Station charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and sleeping on the roof of their home to raising finance and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. Smart, funny and inspiring, Hilary and Dan’s film shows community building in action and the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible.

The screening will be followed by a one-pot vegan supper and discussion with Dan and Howard Johns, solar, renewable and community energy specialist, activist, CEO of POP and Author of "Energy Revolution: Your Guide to Repowering the Energy System". When a community takes control of its own energy supply it seizes power from the fossil fuel corporations, the industry underpinning our political economy, and puts it in the hands of the people - a revolutionary act.

We'll be showing Dan and Hilary's earlier film Bank Job - in which they bought and blew up £1.2 million of local debt - on Tuesday December 2nd. Entry is just £5 with a ticket for the Power Station screening.
