A Gala Celebration of the 5^th Anniversary of the Premiere of RUFUS STONE took place at the historic Shelley Theatre in Boscombe (Bournemouth) on the 7^th of November,  as part of ESRC’s Festival of Social Science. The Event was organized at the Shelley by FH&SS’s Lee-Ann Fenge and Kip Jones.

Watching the film with theatre projection was a special treat. After the screening and Q & A led by FM&C’s Trevor Hearing interviewing the film’s Executive Producer and Author, Kip Jones, the audience retired to the renovated bar area for drinks and nibbles. It is here that they had the chance to meet and chat with each other, including representatives of educational, statutory and community organisations which have made an impact on their communities with their own screenings of RUFUS STONE over the past five years.

And this was in no way  a swan song!  Shortly after  the Shelley screening, Kip Jones presented the film and talked with the audience via Skype at University of Tampere in Finland  at their Social Psychology Conference.

The film was directed by FM&C’s Tom Stone. Watch it here:
