Cambridge Festival screening of Power Station plus community meal

Pre-screening community meal 6:30pm-7:15pm Film plus Q&A 7:15pm- 9:30pm Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell’s masterpiece ‘Power Station’ film documentary about their neighbourhood solar project provides tips on how to bring solar to your own neighbourhood.

A vibrant community-led initiative is transforming a Walthamstow street, bringing the power of solar PV to everyone—from social housing residents and owner-occupiers to the local primary school. Born from inspiring lockdown solidarity and fuelled by creative, 'madcap' fundraising schemes, proving that sustainable energy can be a colourful, communal celebration.

This is a powerful social documentary of life in our times, charting the emotional ups and downs of herding cats and dealing with financial woes, with echoes of Ealing Comedy.

The Q&A panel will include local MP Katie Thornborough, Tom Cox of Decent Energy and Andy Rankin, Midsummer Energy Founder. Join us for a light meal before the screening and a chance to meet Cambridgeshire community groups for more information on how you can engage in a solar project in your neighbourhood.
