Angela Mui appointed to Film Censorship Authority’s Panel of Advisers
We are delighted to announce that Angela Mui has been appointed by the Film Censorship Authority as a member of the Panel of Advisers (Film Censorship) for a period of one year from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
Under the Film Censorship Ordinance (Cap. 392), films intended for public exhibition must be approved by the Film Censorship Authority (“FCA”). The FCA’s censors determine whether whether a film submitted is suitable for exhibition and its appropriate classification under the three-tier classification system (Categories I, IIA, IIB and III).
In making their decisions, censors are expected to reflect contemporary community attitudes. The FCA’s Panel of Advisers (“Advisers”) is established under section 6 of the Film Censorship Ordinance to help ensure that censors are kept fully abreast of the current standards acceptable to the community.
