DISABLED people are being offered the chance to make their voices heard as part of a film project.
In the latest stage of its Articulate programme, Cleveland Arts has developed a scheme called Shoot Your Mouth Off.
Designed to deliver cutting-edge arts projects inspired by, involving and relating to disabled people, the programme is being coordinated by development worker Karen Raferty, with help from Carpetfilms of Newcastle.
For the piece, about 12 people with physical impairments, or who have experienced mental health problems, will undertake a basic course in video production, before taking part in the whole film-making process, from pre-production to screening.
The theme and nature of the production will depend upon those taking part, but will be based loosely on the social exclusion felt by disabled people.
Ms Raferty said: "We expect places to be snapped up fairly quickly."
Anyone interested in taking part in the project should ring (01642) 264651.
