I figured if it's on the Variety Asia website, it's because the lineup was announced. I didn't expect another film festival to start so quickly after HKIFF just wrapped up. <br/><br/>Either way, the theme still seems to be about sticking it to the censors, eh? Hi, ytsl,

Yeah, I didn’t read the story close enough. I figured if it’s on the Variety Asia website, it’s because the lineup was announced. I didn’t expect another film festival to start so quickly after HKIFF just wrapped up.

Either way, the theme still seems to be about sticking it to the censors, eh?

Er…isn’t the SIFF already in progress? Also, isn’t VILLAGE PEOPLE RADIO SHOW a (predominantly) Malaysian film? In any event, hadn’t heard that it was in trouble with the Thai censors but — like with Amir Muhammad’s THE LAST COMMUNIST (for which this is a companion piece) — it most definitely has been banned in Malaysia.

As for the very idea of a Hong Kong movie that will be “Ten Commandments meets Blade Runner shot like 300″: Here’s saying a very big UGH to that! :(
