NAVA Officially Opposes Censorship Of Films Unconditional opposition to censorship of motion pictures prior to exhibition has been stated by the Entertainment Film committee of the National Audio-Visiial Association. In announcing this decision, committee chairman Thomas J. Brandon of Brandon Films said, "The motion picture, as a medium of communication, is entitled to the full protection of the First and Fourteenth amendments. There is no more justification for pre-censorship of films than there is for the precensorhip of daily newspapers or books." The recent Supreme Court decision upholding pre-censorship in the Don Juan case not only extends existing film censorship but opens the way to eventual censorship of every form of communication, Brandon pointed out. Principal users of 16mm entertainment films include hospitals, churches, schools, and other institutions, Brandon said. "In our daily contacts with these thousands of film users we find them deeply concerned about interferences with the free flow of films which are a vital part of their recreational and cultural programs. Our association will support the campaign against film censorliip now being spearheaded by the Motion Picture Association of America and the Independent Film Importers and Distributors of America. Members of the National AudioVisual Asociation will undertake to inform non-theatrical film audiences about the campaign and to enlist their support throughout the United States."
