According to Treasure Island Media, British film censors have blocked its latest video release, Hard Cuts 1 . Scenes showing drug-fuelled outdoor sex have been opposed by the BBFC, which is demanding evidence that the activities were not visible
to members of the public during filming. The company said: Hard Cuts 1 was released internationally in its uncut form on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2014, and is available from Treasure Island Media's website, the company added in
a statement. However, stores in the United Kingdom must wait for the DVD to be passed with an R18 classification before selling it. The BBFC has objected to two scenes, it added. One features Dutch porn star Peto Coast fucking in
a forest, and the other, titled Stoner Six-Way, shows six naked men smoking an unidentified substance and fucking on an open-air balcony.
Hard Cuts 1 was shot by Liam Cole, Treasure Island Media's London director, who previously
attracted criticism for his 2011 video, Slammed, which was believed to show men having sex under the influence of recreational drugs taken intravenously. In fact since the piece was published the BBFC have awarded an R18 certificate to the video.
The BBFC claim that it was passed uncut but the approved running time of 111:52s is shorter than the 170 minutes specified by Treasure Island Media in its promotional material for the US website release. So it seems likely that the disputed scenes were
dropped from the UK release. |
