✨ Film Censorship and Māori Land Notices
24 JUNE THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 1955
There was some discussion concerning the language used
in the film. This was not considered by board members to
be offensive in the context of the film, or to be injurious
to the public good. The language used was the normal patois
of New Zealand teenagers.
In terms of section 28 of the Cinematograph Films Act
1976, The Scarecrow was approved for exhibition with the
classification GA.
J. M. PRIESTLEY, Chairman.
Decision of the Films Censorship Board of Review
PURSUANT to section 82 of the Cinematograph Films Act
1976, New Zealand Film Services applied for a review of
the film Exhibition. The review was held in Wellington on
11 March, 1982.
The film is a documentary, much in dialogue form, about
the life of Claudine Beccarie, an actress in French porno-
graphic films. The film sets her work in the context of her
life, her friends and her family and deals in some depth
with her values and attitudes. It contains a number of
scenes demonstrating techniques used by actors and actresses
in pornographic films, and includes explicit scenes of cunni-
lingus, fellatio, lesbian love-making and masturbation.
It was noted that while the sex scenes were explicit, they
were not linked with violence, and were relevant to the theme
of the film and its context. The explicit scenes in question
were erotic rather than pornographic. The film had overall
artistic merit.
Members of the board were agreed that the film would be
of social and cultural value in the context of a film festival
as defined by the Act, and that in such a context it would
not be injurious to the public good with an RFF20 classifi-
cation. The board considered that this film could be shown
without injury to the public good as part of a major Film
Festival of the type which exhibited say 30 feature films
covering a broad range of film, over the space of a fortnight.
Such festivals in New Zealand conditions are usually con-
fined to metropolitan centres.
In terms of section 28 of the Cinematograph Films Act
1976, Exhibition was approved for exhibition with the classi-
fication RFF20, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and
Dunedin. The board noted that it was open to the distributor
to seek, subject to section 31, a geographic extension of this
classification from the Chief Censor should other appropriate
film festivals warrant it.
J. M. PRIESTLEY, Chairman.
