The Green Screen: Power Station

The Green Screen is our regular community film night exploring ecology, sustainability and justice.

Power Station: Two artists unite their community through creative, people owned solar energy transformation. The cost of living crisis and the climate crisis are deeply interlinked. What if everyone could afford solar panels? What if every home and school became a power station?

Working to turn a street and local schools solar, Power Station is a scalable in-your-face prototype of community led power. Channelling Withnail and I and Ealing comedy the film charts the financial and emotional trials and tribulations of making change together. From sleeping on rooftops to growing thousands of sunflowers and attempts at Christmas number one, community spirit and resilience are at the heart of this documentary.

"I can’t recommend this film enough. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll kickstart a community-led renewable energy revolution. I will say, without any sense of exaggeration or hyperbole, that this is one of the most important films ever made. Everyone needs to see it." - Rob Hopkins, co-founder Transition Network
