The public controversies surrounding Fat Girl, Irre´versible, Ken Park, The Brown Bunny, Wolf Creek and Welcome to New York, each highlight significant stages in this cultural shift, which necessitated policy revision within Britain, Canada and Australia's institutions of film censorship. Sacco draws parallels and distinctions between governmental film regulation policies and the social control mechanisms at work within a wider network of institutions, including news media, film festivals and advocacy groups. He examines the means by, and ends to which the social control of film content persists in a national 'post-censorship' media landscape, and how concepts of film 'classification' manifest in commercial market contexts, journalistic criticism and practices of distribution and advertising.

Zusammenfassung Compares censorship's distinct and varying profiles across five different national contexts - U.S.A., Britain, Canada, Australia, and France
