Event Description:

Join us for an entertaining film & social evening and a celebration of communities and people power!

Presented by: Energise Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire Community Energy and the Community and Climate Cafe.

We are inviting our friends, supporters and everyone interested to join us for a free film and social evening at Hazlemere Community Centre on Friday 13th March.

Power Station is a hugely entertaining and inspiring film, currently selling out at community screenings across the country and beyond. There will be free refreshments on arrival, with an opportunity to find out more about our community organisations - and the social club bar will also be open until late.

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.
