Climate Films at St Mary’s: 25th & 27th June

In June 2026, join us in Walthamstow’s ancient church for a thought-provoking weekend of climate films.

We’ll start with the People’s Emergency Briefing on Thursday 25th June at 7pm – a film featuring contributions from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden and some of the UK’s leading scientific, energy and national security experts. The film will be preceded by Direct Action – a short climate-themed drama from local filmmaker Tor Kristoffersen – and will be followed by a panel discussion. The event will end around 9pm.

There will also be an on-site, card-only bar severing both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Tickets are free, but with a recommended donation.

Book your free ticket to the People’s Emergency Briefing here (eventbrite link coming soon).

And then on Saturday 27th June at 7pm, join us for Power Station by Walthamstow-based filmmakers and activists Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn. This documentary follows the attempts by Hilary and Dan to turn their Walthamstow street into an energy-generating collection of solar-powered Power Stations – a prototype for a new way of living, with the hope of galvanising a wider push towards sustainable alternatives.

The film documents Hilary and Dan pitching the idea to their neighbours, sleeping on the roof of their home to raise money and launching a bid for a Christmas number one single. The film will be followed by a panel discussion, and there will be a card-only bar serving both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Book your £5 ticket to Power Station here (eventbrite link coming soon).
