Dali said genesis, as a local yourself are you pro or against censorship in Qatar?
I'm pro-censorship at movie theaters in Qatar. Simply because there is no awareness or viewing discretion advised or even enforced. How many times you've been to the movies here and watch kids without their parents in a film that should be rated R for violence & disturbing images ?
As for film festivals, it shouldn't be censored(As many posters have already implied )this is already followed in festivals around the world (even in our region)
As for DTFF, we don't have a Movie culture here. And i don't see what's the harm of hosting such event( There seems to be a lot of locals excited about the event from the number of fans at DTFF Facebook page & discussion threads at local public forums). Although, i thought it's a little too soon
shouldn't they have built more movie theaters first that can accommodate such events?I mean in my recent visit to China i was really surprised how state of art cinemas can be found in industrial cities like Guangzhou.
