ifva Resumes as Entry of Spokes and Wheels Is Disqualified
Start here
The 30th ifva Independent Short Film and Media Competition resumed and held its award ceremony. Spokes and Wheels, a documentary about "bullet boy" bicycle culture, was disqualified. Director Tsang Ming-sum said he was notified of the nomination last month and tickets had already gone on sale; after he submitted the film for censorship, the organiser disqualified it on the grounds that no censorship result was available and it could not be screened, and he questioned whether the decision was justified. The Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration said it handled censorship applications under the established mechanism and would not comment on individual films.
