Power Station – Social Cinema Screening – Truro

Can a whole street be powered by the sun?
Power Station follows the story of two artists as they set out to take their street off-grid and kickstart a solar-powered energy revolution.

The idea began in the depths of lockdown with the question ‘what could we do from where we live, with the people around us, to build power – of energy and imagination?’

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 comedies, 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.

Programme for the evening:

5:45pm – Doors open
6pm – Communal Feast
7pm – Social Cinema experience – We begin with a short mindful breathwork practice, before screening the film, and then opening up the room to an audience-led discussion.

Feast:

All the food for this event is sourced through the Falmouth Food Co-op, winner of the Sustainable Food or Drink category at this year’s Cornwall Sustainability Awards. Their produce supports local Cornish market gardens, including Loveland, British grains producer Hodmedods and a host of other organic and regenerative growers.

We will be working with our trusted Syrian Chef Iman, building off her signature dishes and introducing you all to some new culinary wonders. We use as much seasonal produce as possible, so will provide a confirmed menu closer to the time which will be emailed to all ticket holders.

The meal will be vegan and gluten free. Please note that food is prepared in a kitchen that handles a range of ingredients, including gluten, so may contain traces of allergens.
