Residents are invited to a film screening of a documentary about what happens when neighbours come together to take power, organised by Frome Town Council.
‘Power Station’ will be screened at the Merlin Theatre on Saturday 28th February. Frome Town Council is inviting the community to attend to watch the film, followed by a Q&A session.
Matt Mellen, Climate Action Lead at Frome Town Council, said, “Power Station is a bold, funny and heartwarming documentary about what happens when neighbours come together to take power – quite literally – into their own hands. Set in Walthamstow, the film follows artists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn as they attempt to turn their street into a solar-powered energy station, kickstarting a grassroots energy revolution inspired by lockdown mutual aid.
“Power Station captures something really special – the moment when ordinary people decide to work together and imagine something better. Frome has a proud history of community-led action and this film is a timely reminder of how imagination and collective effort can help shape a more sustainable future.”
This event forms part of Frome Town Council’s ongoing commitment to supporting community-led responses to the climate and ecological emergency, while creating welcoming spaces for conversation, inspiration and connection.
All are welcome to attend. The screening takes place at the Merlin Theatre, with doors opening ahead of the 7pm start on Saturday 28th February. Tickets cost £5 and can be booked via bit.ly/powerstationfilm
