Buzz Community Energy have arranged to show a film called "Power Station". This is a documentary which charts the work of two artist activists from Walthamstow - Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn - to install solar panels on every house in their street. The film is a testament to community, vision and a dash of British eccentricity and the result is everyday magic. The film is funny, heartwarming and a vibrant portrait of the power of people and how change happens.
Power Station began in the depths of Covid lockdown - and in the aftermath of a previous film "Bank Job" where the main protagonists purchased and blew up £1.2 million of local debt - with the question "what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?"
Working to turn a street and local schools solar, "Power Station" is a saclable in-your-face prototype of community led power. Channelling "Withnail and I" and Ealing comedy, the film charts the financial and emotional trials and tribulations of sunflowers and attempts at Christmas number one, community spirit and resilience are at the heart of this documentary.
