The BBC plans to premiere The Chimpcam Project<\/a><\/em>, a documentary shot by actual chimpanzees, this week. Get ready for the inevitable Avatar<\/em> comparisons, and check out this video preview<\/a> below.<\/p>

Basically, some researchers encased a camera in a chimp-proof box and gave it to both wild and zoo-bred chimps. Enraptured with the viewfinder, they began tossing it around, taking pictures of whatever shiny object or unexpected movement interested their lemon-sized brains.

I mean, what else is going on that day, besides the Holy Grail of Tech announcement and the State of the Union? Bring on the monkey-movie!
