A talk with Peter Kerekes, Slovak documentary filmmaker, about his film project Censors.
Thought-provoking and irreverent Slovak filmmaker Peter Kerekes (A Cooking History, Velvet Terrorists) is embarking on a new journey exploring the important daily decisions that small people part of big systems have to take. This time Kerekes’ attention will be targeted at censors, the very last “manual workers” in an era of security softwares. How are the mails of inmates in Ukrainian prisons being checked? How the flow of violent images that Nollywood produces can be controlled at all? And, on what basis images are being censored in Saudi Arabia? Censors intends to be a very “un-revolutionary” film, insisting on the importance of setting borders and social value of censorship. Yet, is it even possible to make an apolitical film about censorship?
