Name: Singapore film festival cuts two films over sex and religion|
Artist: Anders Morgenthaler and Loo Zihan. Confronting Bodies: Singapore's Board of Film Censors Date of Action: 2007 Specific Location: Singapore Description of Artwork: "Princess", an animated film by Danish director Anders Morgenthaler, tells the story of a priest who tries to erase his dead sister's past as a porn star. The film is considered "religiously offensive" due to a scene where a porn star in a nun's habit has a cross protruding from her behind. "Solos", the other cut film, is about the homosexual relationship between an older man and a boy. It was censored because of "explicit homosexual lovemaking scenes including scenes of oral sex and threesome sex", the board said.
