Hes Fes, The home educators seaside festival in Charmouth Dorset, kicked off our season for 2005. Over 1000 young people who, for various reasons are educated at home, or out of the usual school system, congregated on a campsite near the sea for a week of workshops, activities, music and fun. The Groovy Movie Picture House screened a kids film each afternoon, plus documentaries such as From The Heart of the World, by Alan Erira, about the Kogi tribe of South America. Late shows for the older crowed included the first screening of the Mark Thomas Live video.

The Groovy Movie Picture House also ran digital video making workshops to introduce some of the young people to filming and editing using digital equipment. A film about the event was shot and edited over the week and screened as a finale.

As the rain lashed down and the field turned to thick clay mud, The Groovy Movie Picture House provided a home for a number of workshops, musicians and performers. On the last night we were joined by the Rinky-Dink Pedal Powered Sound System for an after hours party. A heady mix of live and recorded musical clips as our video cabaret combined the talents of Hattie Hatstar, Mike Cupcake and the Rinky-Dink Band.
