The film stars Mark Rylance, Ruby Barnhill, Penelope Wilton, Jemaine Clement, Rebecca Hall, Rafe Spall and Bill Hader.

The Chimpcam Project The Chimpcam Project is a documentary featuring the first movie to be filmed entirely by chimpanzees. The chimpanzees do this using a "chimpcam" - a video recorder housed in a chimpanzee-proof box. The device is used by 11 chimpanzees living at the Edinburgh Zoo in the U.K. The experiment was the idea of producer John Capener and became part of the studies of primatologist Betsy Herrelko, who is studying for a Ph.D. in primate behaviour at the University of Stirling. The documentary was a co-production between the BBC strand "Natural World" and Animal Planet. It premiered on BBC Two on January 27, 2010.
