Public invited to join film advisor scheme

The Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA) is inviting applications from the public to join the statutory panel of advisors on film censorship.

Advisors attend film viewing sessions and give views to censors on the appropriate classification of films.

A spokesman for TELA said the views of these advisors were very useful to the department's censors in classifying films.

"More public participation in the process will help ensure that current censorship standards are consistent with the expectations of the community," the spokesman said.

Some 280 volunteers from all walks of life: teachers, social workers, professionals, housewives, post secondary students are now serving as public advisors on film censorship.

"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," the spokesman said.
