This new book, published in the BBFC's centenary year, traces the fascinating history of film classification, censorship and controversy in Britain, and marks an unparalleled collaboration between the BBFC and leading film critics, historians and cultural commentators. The book also features unique case studies, written by BBFC staff, focusing on significant films that have provoked debate and controversy both within the BBFC and more widely - Battleship Potemkin, The Snake Pit, A Clockwork Orange, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and many more." - taken from back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9781844574766Contents: Introduction: A Centennary Book -- 1.Censorship Under Siege: The BBFC in the Silent Era / Simon Brown -- Case Study: Battleship Potemkin (1925) / Aidan McDowell -- 2.`The People's Amusement': Cinemagoing and the BBFC, 1928-48 / Robert James -- Case Study: Island of Lost Souls (1932) / Karen Myers -- 3.From the Snake Pit to the Garden of Eden: A Time of Temptation for the Board / Steve Chibnall -- Case Study: The Snake Pit (1948) / David Hyman -- Case Study: Caged (1950) / Jason Green -- 4.The Trevelyan Years: British Censorship and 1960s Cinema / Tracy Hargreaves -- Case Study: Cape Fear (1962) / David Hyman -- Case Study: Blowup (1966) / Edward Lamberti -- 5.Wake of the Flood: Key Issues in UK Censorship, 1970-5 / Stevie Simkin -- Case Study: The Panic In Needle Park (1971) / Murray Perkins -- Case Study: WR - Misterije Organizma (WR - Mysteries of the Organism, 1971) / Craig Lapper -- Case Study: A Clockwork Orange (1971) / Karen Myers -- 6.The `Poacher Turned Gamekeeper': James Ferman and the Increasing Intervention of the Law / Alex Sinclair -- Case Study: Shivers (1975) / David Hyman -- Case Study: Die Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum, 1979) / Craig Lapper -- Case Study: Christiane F. - Wir Kinder Vom Bahnhof Zoo (Christiane F.-We Children From Zoo Station, 1981) / Craig Lapper -- 7.More Than Just a `Nasty' Decade: Classifying the Popular in the 1980s / Sian Barber -- Case Study: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) / Edward Lamberti -- Case Study: Licence to Kill (1989) / Edward Lamberti -- 8.Head-On Collisions: The BBFC in the 1990s / Julian Petley -- Case Study: International Guerillas (1990) / Jason Green -- Case Study: Mikey (1992) / Jason Green -- 9.`The Last Days of the Board' / Robin Duval -- Case Study: Ichi the Killer (2001) / Murray Perkins -- Case Study: Lilo & Stitch (2002) / Jason Green -- 10.The Director's Commentary / David Cooke -- Case Study: 9 Songs (2004) / Caitlin O'Brien -- Case Study: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) / Karen Myers -- 11.On the BBFC in the Digital Age -- Censorship and Classification in the Free Society / Gerard Lemos -- Reflections on the 1979 Williams Report / Geoffrey Hawthorn -- Future Technologies and How They Might Impact on Film Classification and Censorship / John Carr -- A Margin of Appreciation / Stephen Sedley -- How the World Has Changed for Children and Parents, 1912-2012 / Ann Phoenix.

Censorship and sexuality in Bombay cinema / Monika Mehta Austin, TX: University of Texas, 2011.

INDIA ; BOLLYWOOD ; WOMEN IN FILMS. INDIA ; DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE (II, Aditya Chopra, [1995]) ; GUPT GYAN (II, B. K. Adarsh, 1974) ; KHAL NAYAK (II, Subhash Ghai, 1993) Summary: "India produces an impressive number of films each year in a variety of languages. Here, Monika Mehta breaks new ground by analyzing Hindi films and exploring the censorship of gender and heterosexuality in Bombay cinema. She studies how film censorship on various levels makes the female body and female sexuality pivotal in constructing national identity, not just through the films themselves but also through the heated debates that occur in newspapers and other periodicals. The standard claim is that the state dictates censorship and various prohibitions, but Mehta explores how relationships among the state, the film industry, and the public illuminates censorships' role in identity formation, while also examining how desire, profits, and corruption are generated through the act of censoring.
Committed to extending a feminist critique of mass culture in the global south, Mehta situates the story of censorship in a broad social context and traces the intriguing ways in which the heated debates on sexuality in Bombay cinema actually produce the very forms of sexuality they claim to regulate. She imagines afresh the theoretical field of censorship by combining textual analysis, archival research, and qualitative fieldwork (personal interviews and direct observation of censorship committees). By employing this interdisciplinary methodology and mobilizing Michel Foucault's insights on micropractices, Mehta places concerns of representation, film production, film reception, and state interventions in a productive dialogue. Her analysis reveals how central concepts of film studies, such as stardom, spectacle, genre, and sound, are employed and (re)configured within the ambit of state censorship, thereby expanding the scope of their application and impact." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Based on the author's thesis (doctoral)--University of Minnesota, 2001 -- Includes bibliographical references and index.ISBN: 9780292726925Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013Contents: Beginning -- Revisiting the history of film censorship -- Close-up: the Central Board of Film Certification -- The first sex-education film: a classification conundrum -- Satyam shivam sundaram: (im)proper suturing of sound, scar, and stardom -- An anomalous dilemma: to ban or to certify the self-sacrificial wife in Pati parmeshwar -- Tracking the twists and turns in the Khalnayak -- Debates on censorship -- Dilwale dulhania le jayenge: certifying a "family love" story -- From censorship to selections

Why do so many of the films described as adaptations seem to derive from canonical literature rather than from other sources? How do the different media affect the ways stories are told? Film Adaptation offers fresh approaches to the art, theory, and cultural politics of movie adaptations, even challenging what is meant by the term "adaptation" itself. Contributors examine the process of adaptation in both theory and practice, discussing a wide variety of films. James Naremore's introduction provides an accessible historical overview of the field and reveals the importance of adaptation study to the many different academic disciplines now attracted to the analysis of film as commodity, document, and cultural artifact." -- BOOK BLURB

This book reviews the film censorship system in the Asia-Pacific by comparing the systems used in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia. It identifies the key issues and concerns that arise from the design and implementation of the system by examining the censorship laws, policies, guidelines and processes. The book evaluates film practitioners' and censors' opinion of, and experience in, dealing with those issues, and goes on to develop reform proposals for the film censorship system."--publisher website.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780415656894Contents: -- introduction -- The film industries in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia in their socio-legal context -- Film censorship systems in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia : the laws, guidelines, and processes -- Film censorship systems in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia : the key issues -- Film censorship systems in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia : the practitioners' opinions and experiences -- Judicial review of film censorship decisions -- Conclusion : proposals for the reform of the Malaysian film censorship system and further research -- notes -- bibliography -- index --

USA ; CINEMA 16 ; ROCHA, GLAUBER Summary: An essential collection of groundbreaking film writing from the legendary Evergreen Review and its cutting-edge coverage of the underground, experimental, pornographic, and political mid-century film scene.
In this collection of film writing from Evergreen Review, the legendary publication’s important contributions to film culture are available in a single volume. Featuring leading writers such as Nat Hentoff, Norman Mailer, Parker Tyler, and Amos Vogel, the book presents the films of Jean-Luc Godard, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ousmane Sembene, Andy Warhol, and others, and offers incisive essays and interviews from the late 1950s to early 1970s. Articles explore politics, revolution, and the cinema; underground and experimental film, pornography, and censorship; and the rise of independent film against the dominance of Hollywood. A new introductory essay by Ed Halter reveals the important role Evergreen Review and its publisher, Grove Press, played in advancing cinema during this period through innovations in production, distribution, and exhibition. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781609806156

USA ; BREEN, JOSEPH Summary: "From 1934 to 1954 Joseph I. Breen, a media-savvy Victorian Irishman, reigned over the Production Code Administration, the Hollywood office tasked with censoring the American screen. Though little known outside the ranks of the studio system, this former journalist and public relations agent was one of the most powerful men in the motion picture industry. As enforcer of the puritanical Production Code, Breen dictated "final cut" over more movies than anyone in the history of American cinema. His editorial decisions profoundly influenced the images and values projected by Hollywood during the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War." "Cultural historian Thomas Doherty tells the absorbing story of Breen's ascent to power and the widespread effects of his reign. Breen vetted story lines, blue-penciled dialogue, and excised footage (a process that came to be known as "Breening") to fit the demands of his strict moral framework. Empowered by industry insiders and millions of like-minded Catholics who supported his missionary zeal, Breen strove to protect innocent souls from the temptations beckoning from the motion picture screen."--BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

In Humor in Middle Eastern Cinema, editors Gayatri Devi and Najat Rahman shed light on this tradition, as well as humor and laughter motivated by other intent—including parody, irony, the absurd, burlesque, and dark comedy. Contributors trace the proliferation of humor in contemporary Middle Eastern cinema in the works of individual directors and from the perspectives of genre, national cinemas, and diasporic cinema. Humor in Middle Eastern Cinema explores what humor theorists have identified as an “emancipatory,” “liberatory,” even “revolutionary” function to humor. Among the questions contributors ask are: How does Middle Eastern cinema and media highlight the stakes and place of humor in art and in life? What is its relation to the political? Can humor in cinematic art be emancipatory? What are its limits for its intervention or transformation? Contributors examine the region’s masterful auteurs, such as Abbas Kiarostami, Youssef Chahine, and Elia Suleiman and cover a range of cinematic settings, including Egypt, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey. They also trace diasporic issues in the distinctive cinema of India and Pakistan. This insightful collection will introduce readers to a variety of contemporary Middle Eastern cinema that has attracted little critical notice. Scholars of cinema and media studies as well as Middle Eastern cultural history will appreciate this introduction to a complex and fascinating cinema." -- GOOGLE BOOKSNotes: Contains bibliography and filmography -- contains index -- contains list of contributorsISBN: 9780814339374Contents: Introduction / Gayatri Devi and Najat Rahman -- Humor, loss, and the possibility for politics in recent Palestinian cinema / Najat Rahman -- Strategies of subversion in Ben Ali's Tunisia: allegory and satire in Moncef Dhouib's TV Is Coming / Robert Lang -- Satiric traversals in the comedy of Mehran Modiri: space, irony, and national allegory on Iranian television / Cyrus Ali Zargar -- Ethnic humor, stereotypes, and cultural power in Israeli cinema / Elise Burton -- The laughter of Youssef Chahine / Najat Rahman -- Comedic meditations: war and genre in The Outcasts / Somy Kim -- Humor and the cinematic sublime in Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us / Gayatri Devi -- America the oppressively funny: humor and anti-americanisms in modern Turkish cinema / Perin Gurel -- Laughter across borders: the case of the Bollywood film Tere Bin Laden / Mara Matta

Also considered is the influence of these films on other countries, particularly the United States, where Scandinavian erotic cinema helped to set in motion the sexual revolution and contributed to the end of film censorship" -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780786444885Contents: -- One: To 1966 : birth of a mythology -- Two: 1967-1970 : censorship's last stand -- Three: 1971 and beyond: total freedom in fact and fiction -- Four: The passing of an era -- appendices -- notes -- bibliography -- index --

AUSTRALIA ; LEGISLATION. AUSTRALIA ; PORNOGRAPHY ON TV ; RATING FOR TV. AUSTRALIA ; SEX AND TV ; VIOLENCE ON TV. AUSTRALIA Summary: "Program classification issues have long been at the core of a heated public debate focusing on what can be shown on television. Because television is readily accessible to nearly all people of all ages, it is accepted that program standards are required to regulate what we are able to watch on television. However, any government regulation of television programs still raises sensitive issues. On the one hand, there is concern that even the most indirect intrusion into programming can destroy artistic intention and creativity. On the other hand, community opinion indicates that television and broadcasting in general, should maintain certain social objectives [...] This monograph is concerned principally with public attitudes to classification issues: namely, sex, violence and offensive language and knowledge of the classification system" - FROM INTRODUCTIONISBN: 0642168857

Certain legal, consensual sex acts must now be edited out of X-rated videos before they can go on sale; Penthouse has been forbidden to run advice on how to go down on a woman; and Australian Women’s Forum wasn’t allowed to show photos of vaginas in a health article. In Snatched former Australian Women’s Forum editor Helen Vnuk takes a look at what we’re missing out on and why, and calls for major changes to Australia’s system of censorship.”
