POWER STATION: virtual screening + Q&A with Kate Raworth (Past)
What could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Join us for this virtual screening of POWER STATION, a feature-length documentary film by two artists in Walthamstow, London, who set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution.
The film lasts 1hr 40
And after the film there will be a Q&A with filmmakers, Dan and Hilary, and author of Doughnut Economics, Kate Raworth.
"I can’t recommend this film enough. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll kickstart a community-led renewable energy revolution. I will say, without any sense of exaggeration or hyperbole, that this is one of the most important films ever made. Everyone needs to see it." - Rob Hopkins, co-founder Transition Network
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.

Founder of Make It Good which is dedicated to accelerating regenerative futures. Most recently part of the Oxfordshire Doughnut Project Team. Funded by Oxfordshire County Council and hosted by Aspire, the project seeks to accelerate understanding of Doughnut Economics in application across three core work streams - developing a preliminary data portrait as a springboard for engagement, understanding how to move from impact assessment to doughnut-informed Decision Making Wheel, and to consider how to begin to apply these tools to strategic economic planning in Oxfordshire.
