Shorts
Enjoy a selection of short films featuring talented actors and film-makers from across the UK: starting with Belfast's National Deaf Children Society's 1950's thrilller Seaside Hotel, Telford's Arty Party group in Smile And Run, and a new episode of the wonderful Stranger Hero from Hartlepool's Shout Your Mouth Off Productions, featuring the world's first Down's Syndrome Kung Fu Action Hero with a special guest appearance by Mat Fraser, the UK's best known disabled actor.
Heavy Load (12A)
This engaging doc follows thrash metal punk band, Heavy Load - three of whose members have learning disabilities - as they cut their first album and break out from safe 'disability' territory to gigging in pubs and success at festivals. Funny and insightful about the difficulties of meeting the needs of disabled people; all three - Simon, the exuberant singer, Jim, the gentle guitarist and Down's Syndrome drummer, Mick, a one-man emotional rollercoaster with solo-career aspirations - come across as great characters. More information.
To be followed by discussion.
