Power Station: Q&A Co-Director Dan Edelstyn

Community Energy Event Join us from 4:30pm on Wednesday 10th June for North Herts Council and Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation’s community energy event. Your ticket is for the full event, commencing at 4:30pm – and including a screening of Power Station at 5:20pm. About Power Station Two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-powered energy revolution. 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. The screening will be followed by an interactive Q&A with Dan Edelstyn (co-director) hosted by Cllr Amy Allen
