A Hong Kong LGBT film festival pulled a Taiwanese documentary from its lineup in recent days after Hong Kong government authorities censored parts of the feature, local news outlet Coconuts Hong Kong reported on Monday.
“Those who purchased tickets to
Taiwan Equals Love will have the fees refunded,” the Hong Kong cinema originally scheduled to screen the documentary, Broadway Cinematheque, announced in a statement posted to its official Facebook page on June 25.
“The [Hong Kong] Film Censorship Authority did not authorise the screening of the full documentary [sic],” the statement read. “We jointly decided to cancel the screenings of the film, in accordance with our agreed policy not to screen censored films in this program.”
