Darkness 6 (Censorship & cinema in France)

Censorship & cinema in France examines over more than 450 pages, the complex process of the classification of cinematographic works in our country. The floor was given to observers and actors in the system organized by the State since 1919.

Jean-François Théry, Sylvie Hubac, Edmond Honorat, Jean-François Mary and Françoise Tomé, all interviewed at the time of their presidency, agreed to give their point of view on the work of the Classification Commission.

André Bonnet, founder and counsel of the association Promoting, which has upset film law for more than twenty years with the case fuck me, explains and justifies his multiple actions before the judge.

If René Chateau, Philippe Rouyer and Fernand Garcia have chosen to return to important episodes in the classification of films, lawyers have questioned the purpose of the warning, the inconsistencies of the ban on those under 18, or again on the compensation of professionals harmed by restrictions on exhibition in theatres.

In total, fifteen authors were kind enough to take a critical look at a complex device observed with suspicion by a cinema industry torn between annoyance and resignation.
