Happyend, Power Station, Take One Action, GYFF, LFF and IberoDocs
This week, we’re off to a very near-future Tokyo for Happyend, in which a bunch of clubbing-mad high school teens turn rabblerousers when their headmaster installs a sinister surveillance system in their school, which mirrors the darkening political situation unfolding beyond the school gates. We also take a look at the documentary Power Station, which sees an artist couple try to tackle the fuel poverty crisis in their local community by turning their street into a literal and metaphorical power station.
Power Station opens the community-minded Take One Action film festival, which leads us on to discuss some of the other film festivals coming to Scotland over the next wee while, from the Glasgow Youth Film Festival to a touring programme of highlights from the London Film Festival.
