A film featuring graphic gay sex between zombies directed by Canadian provocateur Bruce LaBruce has been banned by the Australian censor from being screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. A letter from Donald McDonald, director of Australia’s Film Classification Board, to MIFF director Richard Moore, states that the film titled L.A. Zombie could not be screened because it would, in his opinion, be refused classification.
Films are not required to be submitted to the classification board prior to screening, but upon reading a synopsis of the film’s plot, the board requested a DVD of the film and voted against issuing an exemption for it to be screened.
L.A. Zombie, a follow-up to LaBruce’s 2008 feature, Otto; Or, Up With Dead People, depicts an alien zombie who discovers he can bring the deceased back to life through sex. The film features full frontal nudity, erect penises, wound penetration, and implied sex with corpses.
Moore told the newspaper that the festival hadn’t yet decided whether to appeal the decision, since it would cost $2000.
