Architecton

The latest film from master documentarian Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) is an epic, intimate, and poetic meditation on architecture.
Monumental in scale and vision and largely without narration, it’s an absorbing journey that takes us from tomb-like Ukrainian cities through mind-boggling modern quarrying and construction methods to an ancient stone monolith in Lebanon. With architect Michele De Lucchi as our occasional guide, it manages to ask searching questions about our short-sighted use of natural resources: how do we build, and how can we build better – before it’s too late?
Power Station

Power Station
Showing Friday 5 September
Two artists in Walthamstow set out to take their street off the grid, kickstarting a solar-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.
