According to changes in Thai film censorship regulations made by the National Soft Power Strategy Committee, these restrictions restrict creativity and are no more pertinent to the country’s cultural landscape.
According to Paetongtarn Shinawatra, director of the National Committee on Soft Power Development, private companies will be given more influence over the committee’s decision-making process for movies and videos on Thursday.
Just films with material that could have an impact on the king will be allowed to be seen in Thailand.
Instead of being openly prohibited, films with spiritual and sexual content will be reclassified to appeal to the right audience.
According to her,” Rating groupings will only be an indicator of propriety, not a resource to control film productions.”
According to Ms. Paetongtarn,” All constitutional amendments, maybe, would be finished within the middle of this yr.”
The appropriate authorities will also set up a one-stop service center, which will aid production companies in accelerating the certification of operational procedures required for their productions.
The Pheu Thai Party and the government alliance, according to Ms. Paetongtarn, are prepared to help freedom of expression. She pointed out that Thai repression regulations have come under fire for being vague and ridiculous.
