INSTITUTE TOPICS
LEGISLATIVE ASPECTS OF THE CINEMA BRITISH FILM CENSORSHIP
As stated in our note to Mr. Canty' s article in the yd. issue of the Review, we herewith place before our readers the first of a series of systematic studies on the question of National Censorship systems. Dr. Seeger's authoritative article , published in our first issue, presents a complete and valuable survey of Germany's position. In later issues we shall deal turn by turn with the different countries. This study should furnish us with a most important body of criteria and information, rules and data. As soon as the study of this question is completed, the Institute will compile a study thereon which will be forwarded gratis to our subscribers. This publication will comprise :
a review of film censorship laws, regulations, special mesaures , etc. throughout the world ; the working systems of the several film censoring organs ; a comparison of the different systems prevailing ; an indication of the bases of agreement between these ; an account of the particular principles whereon certain of them are based ; a systematic description of the practical rules guiding the functioning of the censorship in different countries.
This publication, which will be distinguished by absolute impartiality and will contain no expression of opinion on the part of the Institute, should serve as a valuable text-book for the Film Industry, for all those concerned with social and moral problems and for those who devote thir lives to safeguarding the physical and moral well-being both of children and adults.
The British Censorship. According to the British Cinematograph Act (1909) the exhibition of pictures or other optical effects for the purposes of which inflammable films are used is allowed only in premises licensed
