In a rare event, the Film Censorship Board is lifting its curtains to give a selected audience a peek at clips which did not survive the censorship snip.

The clips – which may include steamy love scenes and gory violence – will be screened by the Film Censorship Board in a closed door event for TV and Film studios, as well as journalists next week.

 

Members of the public may also get a chance to view the  material, which could also include scenes deemed politically or religiously sensitive.

 

All they have to do is attend LPF's 60th anniversary carnival in Alamanda shopping mall, Putrajaya on the 22nd and 23rd of November, to book a spot in the private screening.

 

But the audience may want to keep their naughty thoughts in check.

The purpose of the event is not to indulge in a sex-and-gore fest, but to show that the censorship board is not as scissor-happy as it is often made out to be.

"The LPF is often accused of cutting scenes that have artistic value, can attract viewers, and can add value to the film.

 

"So these accusations will be addressed," Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told reporters at the start of a press conference in Bukit Aman today.

 

Those who are not picked to view the uncensored screening need not despair.

 

Other fun activities are also planned during the two-day event, including the recording of the Islamic talk show ‘Bersama Ustaz Don’.

 

There is also a chance to mingle with local artistes, as well as an outdoor cinema screening films approved by LPF.
