Dir. Hilary Powell, Dan Edelstyn, UK, 2025, 90 mins.
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, the 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.
The documentary charts the filmmakers’ attempt at turning their street into an energy generating powerhouse.
Screening + Q&A on 26th Nov (fuel poverty awareness day) in collaboration with Plymouth Energy Community.
