INXEBA TO RETURN TO CINEMA ON FRIDAY FOLLOWING COURT RULING

Inxeba (the wound) has been 'unbanned' by a Pretoria High Court Order and will be back on mainstream cinema screens again from Friday, 9 March.

This is the result of High Court Order granted on Tuesday after the urgent application brought by Webber Wentzel on behalf of the film's producers and distributors to reverse the x18 rating and enables the film to return to the public domain and be relieved of its imprisonment in sex shops as pornography.

In the court application, Webber Wentzel on behalf of their clients requested a review of the decision of the Film and Publication Board's (FPB) Appeal Tribunal which awarded Inxeba a rating of X18SNVLP overturning the FBP rating of 16LS , essentially classifying the film as hardcore pornography. The urgent application also sought an urgent interim Court Order allowing thafilm to be screened in the mainstream cinemas for the first time since its innitial commercial release on 2 February, which was followed by the ''effective banning'' of the film by the Appeals Tribunal ten days later, pending review.

I can't hide the fact that I was satisfied when the banning of the film took place , since I was 100% against it, part of the fact that growing up it was stressed to never say a word of what happened eNtabeni. I am not happy still to actually find out that the movie is going to continue to be shown in cinema as this will expose what was once sacred.
