Tools for Thinking About Censorship
The Roman Inquisition in the 1500s was constantly complaining about its desperate lack of personnel (not enough Inquisitors, not enough censors to read books, not enough police) as it tried to keep up with the exponentially-growing flood of books enabled by the newfangled #PrintingPress. Why would such an organization waste hundreds of man-hours per copy on crossing out pages when they could have trivially burned the book and moved on?
Did the trial of #Galileo succeed or fail?

On September 11, 1964, Doris Wishman’s Behind the Nudist Curtain debuted in the United States. Here’s a drawing of one of my favorite female filmmaking pioneers and underground auteurs to mark the occasion!

Three additional films censored by Hong Kong government: "My Pen is Blue" "Please Hold On" "The Reticent Wave" Film festival can't say what was censored or why. Now at least 27 films have been censored in #HongKong since Nov 2020. #FilmCensorship https://hongkongfp.com/2023/06/12/3-film-festival-movies-feature-black-images-and-muted-sound-after-hong-kong-govt-censors-demand-cuts/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1668197693989040128#m
"One in fourteen of the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland daily attend the Cinema," Irish Independent columnist Brendan observed this weekend 1923, discussing other film censorship regimes as the Irish Censorship of Films bill was about to become law. #EarlyIrishCinema1923 #FilmCensorship
This is the 23rd instance of #FilmCensorship in #HongKong since Nov 2020 & the 12th film explicitly banned by OFNAA, the film censorship authority. The still in 豐美股肥 /Phone Made Good Film’s notice shows an old @demosisto banner, “100% Freedom”—could that be the reason?! https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1649456835961782278#m
Castleblaney Urban Council was more typical in approving of the plan to introduce national film censorship, according to the Northern Standard #OTD 1923. However, for a town near the Northern Ireland border, restrictions caused by the newly imposed duty on film were of more immediate importance.

#OTD 1923, a Waterford News and Star report suggested that Wexford Corporation was one of the few local councils to reject Irish Minister for Home Affairs Kevin O'Higgins's plan to introduce a national film censor. Wexford wanted a local committee.

.@RoOT_film director Kiwi Chow & others explain #FilmCensorship in #HongKong is more insidious than outright bans (of which there’ve been 22). Blacklisted filmmakers are cut off from funding, hiring actors & booking locations. Musicians are also targeted. https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/hong-kong-moviemakers-04062023163004.html/ampRFA https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1644691222282338304#m
.@HKOnScreen’s 2023 Film Festival will be April 26-30 in LA, the Bay Area & San Diego. The biggest film fest in the US focused on #HongKong. Especially important to HK culture when #FilmCensorship in HK is at its worst ever. https://www.hkonscreen.org/festival https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1643252856953135104#m
R to @hkdc_us: His “I’m allowed to live my own culture & be patriotic” shtick is #doublespeak. His “patriotism” is loyalty to the #CCP dictatorship that’s cracking down on his “culture” in #HongKong, incl harsh #FilmCensorship. @TheAcademy should stand w/ HK filmmakers, not whitewash repression https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1641897266859462679#m
R to @hkdc_us: The other banned film involved marijuana smoking. The #FilmCensorship authority, OFNAA, said it was misleading as it was labeled fictitious but the actors used their real names. In all, now 22 films have been banned in #HongKong, 12 by OFNAA, the official government censor. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1641038180076904449#m
#HongKong’s #FilmCensorship authority’s banned 2 short films that were to be screened in 豐美股肥/Phone Made Good Film’s “Loose Narratives” festival. One was deemed “detrimental to national security” due to parts about the pandemic, protests & imprisonment http://bitly.ws/Cgi7 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1641036700162957313#m
R to @hkdc_us: Nine of the 20 instances of #FilmCensorship involve films related to the #HongKong protests. The censors of these include universities, CCP-owned media, OFNAA & the directors themselves who thought it useless to try or feared repercussions. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1638960897736712193#m
R to @hkdc_us: Ten of the 20 instances of #FilmCensorship are by the official government censor, the Office for Film, Newspaper & Article Administration. All but one film banned by the OFNAA was to be shown at a film festival; the exception is The Dark Knight. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1638960896310407168#m
R to @hkdc_us: In that sense, the list of 20 instances of #FilmCensorship in HK is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine what’s submerged & how #Censorship is contorting HK culture. One of the great tragedies of the new authoritarian reality in HK is what goes unsaid. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1638960895014367250#m
