NEW REGULATIONS ON FILM REVIEWS ****
FILM-MAKERS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK FOR A REVIEW OF THE CENSOR'S DECISION ON A FILM, BUT THE FILM WILL NOT BE WITHDRAWN FROM EXHIBITION WHILE THE REVIEW IS PENDING, UNDER AMENDMENT REGULATIONS PUBLISHED TODAY.
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED THAT UNDER THE LAW, ANY PERSON WHO CONSIDERS THAT A FILM SHOULD NOT BE EXHIBITED ON MORAL, RELIGIOUS, EDUCATIONAL OR OTHER GROUNDS CAN REQUEST THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO REFER THE FILM TO THE FILM CENSORSHIP BOARD OF REVIEW, IF THE BOARD HAD NOT ALREADY REVIEWED THAT FILM.
PREVIOUSLY, THE CHIEF SECRETARY HAD DISCRETION TO ORDER THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FILM FROM EXHIBITION PENDING THE REVIEW.
UNDER THE FILM CENSORSHIP (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS 1984 PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE, WITHDRAWAL ORDERS COULD NOW BE MADE ONLY IF THE FILM DISTRIBUTOR FAILED TO DELIVER THE FILM TO THE FILM CENSORSHIP AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW WITHIN 24 HOURS.
THIS WILL AVOID INCONVENIENCE TO THE DISTRIBUTORS AND ALSO ENSURE THAT A QUICK DECISION COULD BE REACHED ON THE PUBLIC COMPLAINT, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
