The film submission form is amended to include the submission of videotape/laserdisc containing censored films which have been slightly altered, the spokesman said.
In addition to other authorised persons such as video shop operators and videotape/laserdisc distributors, the amendment regulation further allows cinema operators or any person authorised by a cinema operator to view the repository containing videotapes, laserdiscs, packaging and advertising materials.
The statutory description and warning to be displayed on advertising materials of the newly created Category IIA and Category IIB films are incorporated into both the film submission form and the certificate of approval for films.
The statutory warnings to be displayed on advertising materials of Category IIA and IIB films are "Not Suitable For Children" and "Not Suitable For Young Persons And Children" respectively.
The two amendment regulations, together with the Film Censorship (Amendment) Ordinance 1995, will come into effect on November 17.
