The UAE has declared the end of Censorships in International Movies on 19 December.
Highlights:
To entice foreigners, the UAE government decided to abolish censorship.
According to the government’s recent announcement, sensitive scenes that violate Islamic feelings will not be eliminated.
In addition, the administration has created a new ‘above 21 years of age’ category for spectators.
Movies will now be exhibited in theatres according to their international versions, and their categorization will be based on UAE media content regulations.
The decision to abolish censorship is regarded as the UAE’s attempt to compete in the Gulf area by seeming open-minded and liberal to outsiders.
