Ban lifted on SA film─── 07:31 Sun, 28 Jul 2013
Durban - The Film and Publication Board's (FPB) appeals tribunal has lifted a ban on a film that was barred as "child pornography" over a sex scene between a schoolteacher and a pupil.
The film "Of Good Report" was cleared after a challenge by the organisers of the Durban International Film Festival where it was meant to be the opening feature last week.
The film will now be screened today, the final day of the festival.
The movie's plot revolves around a small-town school where a teacher falls in love with a 16-year-old student.
The movie has now received the nod for viewers aged 16 and above with warnings of sex, nudity, violence and strong language.
The FPB expressed its disappointment at the move to set aside its decision.
