DUBAI: The UAE Media Regulatory Office has announced that new movies will be released in cinemas without any censorship.
The decision means that adult and explicit content will not be cut from film content. It comes as part of the introduction of a new 21+ age rating on top of the previous 18+ category.
The Media Regulatory Office said on Twitter that according to the new classification, “the movies will be screened in cinemas according to their international version, and the classification is given based on the standards of media content in the country.”
It stressed the importance of “age classification standards for audience entry.” Cinemas must strictly adhere to the new age rating, which will require inspecting customers’ proof of age and identification documents.
