Nearly 60 years after they were made, two Peter Sellers films are to get their first showing at a film festival. Film buff Robert Farrow had kept the reels among 21 film cans since 1996 when he finally opened them and discovered the lost gems. After undergoing a hi-tech scan the films are now ready to be shown and will be played at the opening gala of the Southend Film Festival in Essex on May 1. Festival organiser Paul Cotgrove set up Dimwittie Films, named after Sellers' character in the rediscovered films, with Mr Farrow and Stephen Podgorney in order to bring them to a wider audience.They hope to be able to fund a full restoration at a later date.
