Agitation — None.
Censorship — 4,202 films (including also short subjects) having a total length of 3,940.053 meters were censored during 1932. All films are examined by a board which is located in Stockholm and consists of four members appointed by the state which also issued instructions regarding its activities. The fee for censoring is 1.00 crown per 100 meters for panoramas and cartoons and 4.00 crowns per 100 meters for feature films, while certain educational films are free. It can be said that as a rule films showing suicides, terrifying scenes, and other crimes contrary to general law and morals as well as acting that may have a bad influence are forbidden. However, there seems to be no hard and fast rule on this subject. Children under 15 years of age may attend the showing of certain films only. Each film which is approved for showing is classified as "children forbidden" or "children permitted" by the board of censors. Films in which murders, robberies, hold-ups, gangster life, etc., appear fall in the "children prohibited" class.
