Two artists set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution.
Power Station charts co-directors Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn’s turbulent journey towards turning their Walthamstow street into an energy-generating powerhouse of roof-top solar panels – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives.
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.
