Back by popular demand we bring you Power Station for an encore screening to launch our Green Screen film season of films for World Environment Day. Power Station shows how two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution. Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, artist-activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn decided to turn their street 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. By turns funny and heartwarming, Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of their local neighbourhood, and a charming testament to the power of art in changing minds about what could be possible.
Green Screen is the Electric Palace's newest screening strand, showing films with an environmental theme followed by discussion and inspiration for direct, hopeful action against climate change. The screening will be followed by an optional half-hour discussion plus practical ideas for taking direct action. Supported by Hastings Voluntary Action, in partnership with local community partners and LandXSea Environmental Festival, our twin cinema in Montrose, Scotland.
