Scandalous! Confront festival films throughout history that have been so provocative that they were deemed too dangerous by authorities for viewing. Taught by John Trafton.
March 9, 2021
Scandalous! Blasphemy! Outrageous! Obscene! Film festivals are often on the cutting edge, presenting films that audiences may have a challenge seeing again for a variety of reasons. These are films that made a splash on the festival circuit when they debuted, only to be banned by governments and film censors. This class looks at festival films throughout history that have been so provocative that they were deemed too dangerous by authorities for viewing. Some of these films were banned for offending religious sensibilities, others were banned for promoting indecency, and others banned for calling out a nation’s colonial legacy.
