☆ Filmmaker Draws Censors’ Wrath: ‘A Price I Have to Accept’
  + stars: | 2024-03-27 | by ( Li Yuan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
China’s film industry was operating under a planned economy when Wang Xiaoshuai graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 1989. His directorial debut, “The Days,” about a despondent artist couple, was screened at film festivals in Europe in 1994. They barred Mr. Wang from working in the industry because he had screened “The Days” at foreign film festivals without their permission. Mr. Wang, like many other artists in China, found ways around the ban, and he went on to become one of the country’s most acclaimed directors as the restrictions loosened. When he screened his latest film, “Above the Dust,” at the Berlin International Film Festival, his company got a call from China’s censors.

A camera is seen outside the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) headquarters in London, Britain, March 13, 2023. Britain's BBC suspended a male member of staff on Sunday following an allegation that one of its star presenters paid a teenager thousands of pounds to pose for sexually explicit photos, beginning when the teen was 17 years old. The statement said, "It is important that these matters are handled fairly and with care," without giving details on the claims. The mother told the newspaper that the teenager had used the cash to fund a crack cocaine habit. "(Davie) has assured me the BBC are investigating swiftly and sensitively," she said on Twitter.
