LandxSea Monthly: Power Station
LandxSea Monthly’s series of Powerful Films about People and Planet returns to Montrose Playhouse this October. We’re proud to present this screening of POWER STATION, a documentary by artist-activists Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell, who - in the depths of lockdown - asked the question ‘'what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power - of energy and imagination?” POWER STATION is the story of two artists in Walthamstow who set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution. Inspired by lockdown mutual aid initiatives, 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.DocumentaryPT1H36MTBC2025-10-13Dan Edelstyn
