Crippled Monkey | 00:00 UK time, Friday, 26 November 2004

Billed as "the first film festival in the world to be run by people with learning disabilities and showing films made by film makers with learning disabilities" ... get yourself down to Brighton on Monday 29 November to get in on the action.

30 films will be shown at the , which takes place in Brighton next week.

Crippled Monkey's eye has already been caught by the name and subject matter of one film in particular ... and I think I'd quite like it on my Christmas wishlist. The Donkey and the Spell is described in the programme like this: "It's about Supermouse hearing about the magical powers of the Cheese Tree. She visits the Cheese Tree on her donkey and has a fight with her enemy M Zabe, who soon becomes her friend".

Other films include Jill. The filmmaker, Jill Hooper, says: "It's a cartoon of different colours, which I put together. It was a good laugh and good fun. It's a funny joke. Jill jumps on the bed. I might make a different film when I can". Also Cat Can Can made by Carousel: "There was a pirate, a spider and a spaceman, they caught a cat shaped bus to the disco on the back of a flea".

, and are supporting and facilitating Oska Bright, which includes an award ceremony in the evening and an opportunity for one film-maker with learning difficulties to receive a bursary to continue their work. Good luck to all.
