12 Feb 07, 11:51 AM - Meet the Crippendales!

Posted by Vaughan

Lee Kemp is a disabled bloke who was recently voted one of the Sexiest Men in Yorkshire, and now he's planning to put together the UK's first disabled strip group - called The Crippendales, of course.

You can see a documentary about Lee as oart of Disability As You've Never Seen It Before, a day of film and disability presentations on Thursday 29 March at The Courtyard in Hereford. It's part of the Borderlines Film Festival - known as "Britain's biggest little film festival" - which runs in various rural venues from Friday 23 March to Sunday 1 April.

Other events during the day include an open discussion on sexuality and disability in film, which features Claire Fisher, director of the BBC THREE series Desirability, and national disabled artist Tanya Raabe, plus Paul Darke, a leading academic on disability and film, embarks on a wander through some cinematic wonders on disability, entitled From Freak to Normalised. The day concludes with a screening of Terry Gilliam's 1981 movie Time Bandits, featuring many of the Monty Python regulars and the only film ever made to feature six small actors as the principal leads.
