    BRATISLAVA: Peter Kerekes Film production company, represented by producer/director Peter Kerekes (Cooking History, Velvet Terrorists), is developing the documentary Censors, which recieved a grant of 25,000 EUR from the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme.

    Censors will observe the everyday routines of censors, those guides of morality and ideology who select, control and adjust the reflection of reality. 

    Kerekes told FNE, "The documentary will take an interest in various cultures – their values and norms. Therefore, in order to find the censors guarding these values and implementing the norms, we plan to undertake trips to different countries and backgrounds. We will meet the censors from around the world – in countries ranging from Europe, through Russia, the Arab world and Asia to the Americas.“

    The film is in its initial faze of development. Kerekes, togather with his cowriter Ivan Ostrochovský, are planning their research all around the world.

    The estimated budget is 450,000 EUR. The development of the film received 15,000 EUR from the Slovak Audiovisual Fund.
