The West Street Project in partnership with the Omega Centre and Portsmouth Film Society, Portsmouth,  started with enthusiastic media/film students who wish to expand their work experience by supporting adults with a learning disability from the local area to make a short film about the Olympics. It's a filmmaking course at the Omega Centre Thursday nights, this will be held weekly for 15 weeks 5.45pm- 7.45pm.

We need volunteers who can spare some of their time to support us to do our film course and exhibition, tasks will include helping to operate cameras and sound equipment, lighting etc, volunteers do not need to have any previous experience with working with adults with a learning disability as we will have trained Residential Services staff present.

When we have completed our film project, Portsmouth Film Society will hold a film premier at the Omega Centre's cinema suite.  We also hope to invite our local residents and newspaper to watch the premier. We will be entering our film into the Oska Bright Film Festival, which is a festival celebrating films made by adults with learning disabilities, the deadline for entry is April 2011 and the Award Ceremony is in late 2011.
