A MUSEUM on Teesside is preparing to stage a talk on North-East film history.

It will be given by Tony Hillman, a Darlington film enthusiast who has brought a touch of magic to Stockton's Green Dragon Museum by putting on a display to mark the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney's birth.

Now, he plans to highlight films that were made in the region, locals who have contributed to the film industry, and films about the region.

Muriel King, museums officer for Stockton council, said: "I am sure that anyone with an interest in film history will find this talk interesting."

Admission to the talk, at 7.30pm on Wednesday, is free. The Disney exhibition runs until Friday, March 1.
