An animated television API will be screened tomorrow (Friday) to encourage parents to advise their children when watching Cat. HA or IIB films which may contain elements not suitable for children. Two versions of radio APIs along similar themes will be broadcast on radio stations.
TELA will also produce an information kit for distribution to secondary schools, parent/teacher associations and other interested parties for their reference. The kit contains pamphlets, posters and fact sheets on the current three-tier film classification system.
In addition, film censors will visit secondary schools and parent-teacher associations to give talks on the film classification system. The talks will be followed by the viewing of a demonstration video, question-and-answer sessions and group discussions.
The spokesman also called on the public to join the statutory Panel of Advisers to assist in the classification process.
"There are at present about 280 such advisers drawn from a wide cross-section of the community," he said. "Their views are vital in ensuring that our classification standards reflect the expectations of the society."
Those who have reached the age of 18 and are fluent in both English and Chinese are eligible to apply. Application forms are available at TELA. 39th floor. Revenue Tower, 5 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai and at various District Offices.
