Banned Thai film ‘DogGod’ returns to screens

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s Film and Video Screening Office (FVSO) finally gave its blessing to allow the Thai film DogGod, also known as My Teacher Eats Biscuits, to be screened after it was banned for 25 years as a threat to religions in Thailand.

 

DogGod cinematographer Manit Sriwachichpoom shared the good news on Facebook yesterday, October 25.

 

“Bravo! DogGod has passed the cinema censors after 25 years of being banned! The film is now available for audiences over the age of 15.”

Manit explained that My Teacher Eats Biscuits was the former title of DogGod, and that Thai people knew the film as Human Prays Dogs. Manit went on to explain that the film was banned from being screened at the 1998 World Film Festival of Bangkok because it offended religious beliefs.

They must be barking mad....banning a film gives it oxygen.....although now it is being released..... let off the leash....it could could come back and bite them on the ***.

 

It all gives you paws for thought as to what action was best.....trying to muzzle the public is not a good move

I would never watch a film with Dog in the title, apart from Dog day afternoon

About time that adult Thais are no longer being treated as children by the authorities and allowed to make their own choices.

 

Hopefully they'll get rid of the silly alcohol sales bans during religious holidays next.

The biggest threat to religion in Thailand are the Monks and Abbots more irony the temple dogs are way much better
