Oscar Awards winning movie “Slumdog Millionaire” has crossed borders to China's list of 20 foreign films allowed to be screened in its theatres. The director of the film 'Danny Boyle' is expected to attend the movie's premiere in Beijing on March 24. The movie has cleared the Chinese censors. The China Film Group Corporation has praised the movie for its artistic value and for imposing a positive, healthy and inspirational aspect in the film. The CFGC is the body that decides on foreign films for Chinese audiences.
It's hard for many Hollywood movies to break into the Chinese market because of the quota and also the rigid censorship process. Chinese authorities often reject films that may contain negative portrayals of China, its people, explicit scenes of sex or violence, or sensitive topics such as Tibet.
"Slumdog Millionaire" will be shown in some 2,000 cinemas across China.
