genesis you haven't addressed the questions I asked of you.
1- You feel that censors should be enforced in the theaters in Qatar because the majority of the parents simply OK a child going to the movies without an inking of what the content of the movies is the child is going to be exposed to?
2- Would Qatar place it's self in the hands of the Standardized Western rating according to what the West deems appropriate? Or have any provisions been made to form a Qatari committee that has a say? or should I ask IF they can/want to have a say?
3-Would you as a Qatari personally prefer to have your own yard stick when it comes to deciding what rating suits your own culture, traditions & people or is adopting another's good or bad fine by you?
4- Would ratings apply by visual or sensory standards meaning what you see or hear, because the example I gave of the movie Land of the lost was intentionally engineered to sneakily pass the Westerns 'sensory standard' for nudity, profanity and violence, however not only did it suggest, it strongly advertised sexual perversion and drug use as positive through the loophole of creativity. Please watch it.
Would a committee, again I'm asking IF ever there would be one formed of people themselves or delegating staff to just be on the look out for sensory material or subject matter, because each one is just as crucial and both should be subject to rating.
5- The main issue, would the policy of the DTFF, once it's passed it's 'controversial first year' as you yourself have said "Maybe DTFF didn't want to create a controversial first year & have a bad hype among the locals" once it's already had it's foot in the door, would you then have it's credibility as a renowned film culture festival compromised when movies like The Antichrist which I hoped you would address above, but I'll recap here, is basically the most PORNOGRAPHIC HORROR movie of all time, would it be welcomed as it has in 2009 Cannes Film Festival and the 'artists' receive accolades for continually striving to push the envelope in their quest for inspired personal expression subsequently enriching the culture of film, again I ask according to who's standards?
6- Have any provisions have been taken for the DTFF are there any guidelines once they get over the first contravertial year?
If there is a committee would it include intellegent responsible adult Qatari's or is it going to be left to the young excited and very impressionable facebook crowd you mentioned, unless you haven't noticed they would be the half grown experimental ones who you mentioned that went to the unrated cinemas the ones with blissfully ignorant parents.
They are the ones that find the stoned dudes sleeping under the drug tree in 'The land of the lost' funny.
The very same ones who didn't notice the distasteful humor the scriptwriters pawned off under the rating radar of the three men sleeping together in an obviously suggestive gay orgy scene, again humor according to a different cultures 'cool' jokes?
