Island has 26 cinemas (29,184 seats), Kowloon 32 (38,230) and the New Territories 16 (11,437). A number of cinemas have re- cently been extensively renovated to compete with newer buildings and the majority now have air-conditioning and wide screens.
It is one of the tasks of the Information Services Department to carry out those provisions of the Colony's Places of Public Entertainment Ordinance which require that all films must be viewed by a Panel of Film Censors prior to public exhibition, and the film censorship section operates two theatres within the depart- ment, one for 16 mm and one for 35 mm films. Films inspected during the year totalled 2,007.
