Eco Open House 2026 Film: Power Station

Two artists set out to kickstart a people 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.

"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

The film is being screened this month as part of a series of ECO OPEN House events organised by Transition Town Worthing, Transition Town Shoreham and Greening Steyning.
