To give a perspective on evolution of censorship in the country, a unique film festival will be held featuring movies and scenes that had once created sensation and were clipped by the censor board
The 'Cut Uncut film festival', being organised by Information and Broadcasting ministry, will screen films, most of which had been rated adult by the censor board, officials said.
The three-day event, a part of Centenary Film Festival, to held from April 25 at Siri Fort auditorium here will screen Anurag Kashyap's 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and Tamil movie 'Subramaniapuram' among others in the section dealing with reel violence and cuss words, they said.
The screenings will be accompanied by discussions on violence, cuss words and sexual content in movies by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) members and other eminent film personalities, officials said.
Yash Chopra's 'Dharmaputra' and Telugu film 'Khadgam' is likely to be screened in 'We, the offended' section, dealing with depiction of communalism and religious identity.
Lip locks are considered sensational but there are scenes in a pre-independence movie 'Karma' where Devika Rani and Himanshu Rai are shown engaging in a long kiss.
The movie will be a part of the festival, officials said, adding that the film could be screened that time as the British Film Censor code was followed.
The section on adult themes would also contain Malayalam movie 'Rathinirvedam'.
