Green Screen Strand Launches

In a bold experiment, two Walthamstow artists set out to transform their street into a self-sufficient, solar-powered community, sparking a revolution in renewable energy. This remarkable story is the subject of Power Station, a documentary that will launch the Electric Palace Hastings' new Green Screen Strand on Friday, 4 June 2027. The film, directed by Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn, who also star in the documentary, explores the possibilities of community-led sustainability initiatives and the potential for individuals to make a positive impact on the environment.

The Green Screen Strand is a thought-provoking series of screenings, each followed by a Q&A session and discussion, designed to inspire audiences to take action against climate change. The strand is supported by a range of local organisations, including Energise Sussex Coast, Hastings Voluntary Action, Clean Water Action Group, and the LandXSea Environmental Festival. Over the course of the season, which runs until Saturday, 26 June 2027, the Electric Palace will showcase a diverse range of films, including John Carpenter's classic horror film The Thing, the children's film Song of the Sea, and documentaries such as Six Inches of Soil and Blue Carbon.

The Power Station documentary, which runs for 96 minutes, is a Cert 12A film, suitable for a general audience. As a documentary, it offers a unique perspective on the potential for community-led sustainability initiatives and the role that individuals can play in driving positive change. The film's focus on a specific project and its impact on a local community makes it a compelling and relatable watch.
