Early Film Censorship: Forbidden Images
Posted on April 19, 2011 in Filmmaking 360 | 4 Comments
This short made by CineGraphic Studios used clips from a reel of 35mm nitrate found in an old theater somewhere in Pennsylvania. The projectionist clipped these scenes to meet local moral standards of the time. Will our current forms of censorship look just as ridiculous to future generations?

haha, to europeans the american censorship allready seems ridiculous :D
but i’ve got to say those old clips are pretty erotic ;)
It seems that some of these clips were filmed recently and affected visually for the purpose of this presentation.
I’m so enraged with passion that I’m probably going to do bodily harm to myself.
Hell, most of these clips are PG compared to today’s standars.
