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.

Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir brings us an intimate, nuanced and candid portrait of Paris Hilton, one of the most famous figures of 21st century pop culture, and one of its most misunderstood. When Hilton first gained notice as a club kid in the late 1990s, people didn’t know what to make of her. With no template for this new kind of celebrity, the paparazzi and the public wrote her off as nothing more than a spoiled party girl. The reality was more complicated: for the painfully shy Hilton, nightclubs were a refuge, a place where music provided escape, joy, acceptance and community. Directors Bruce Robertson and JJ Duncan’s artfully crafted documentary follows Hilton as she returns to music in 2024 with her first-ever concert at the Hollywood Palladium and places the event in the larger context of her life as a public figure who was by turns idolized and vilified. Drawing on decades of personal archives, intimate interviews, vérité documentary footage, and the concert itself, the film uncovers the ways Hilton has navigated both cultural adoration and cruelty. Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir finds Hilton speaking her truth while exploring how music as inspiration, aspiration, lifeline –became the throughline that has sustained her survival,reinvention, and resilience
