In what hopefully will mean less stringent censorship of films, legislation is receiving a lobbying push by the clumsily named Federation of Film Association of Thailand. The move would replace the 1930 Censorship Code and the board of police and government censors with a body comprised of film industry experts. This is according to an article in The Nation.
I'm all for abolishing the 1930 Censorship Code, as it does more harm than good when it comes to snipping and smudging films. But I am leery of a law that gives an industry group total control. Does the proposed law give outright approval of films to the Association? The move could make it harder for independent filmmakers and stifle creativity.
