A PARTY political film is defined by the 1998 Films Act as a film advertisement made by or on behalf of any Singapore political party or political body. It can also refer to a film 'made by any person and directed towards any political end in Singapore'.
Under amendments to the Act passed by Parliament yesterday, certain types of films are no longer considered party political. These are:
films made by a licensed broadcaster to report news;
live recordings of events held in accordance with the law;
factual documentaries, biographies or autobiographies;
anniversary and commemorative videos of political parties;
manifestos of political parties;
an election candidate's declaration of policies or ideology. Barring these, anyone who makes, distributes or screens a party political film can be convicted and fined up to $100,000 or jailed for up to two years.
