Kunst & Sex in China

Reuters berichtet über eine neue Praxis in China. Einheimische Arthouse-Filme werden als Sex-Produktionen auf dem vergleichsweise liberalen DVD-Markt verkauft. Meist eher gegen den Willen der Macher:

In a country where people watch far more films at home on disc players than in the cinema, "Maiden Work" is one of many thematically risque pictures that never stood a shot at the big screen. But after a bit of sexing up by unscrupulous DVD producers, the film has finally found its niche, an improbable twist of fate for a low-budget art house work battling for market access.
