” has been pulled from its slot as the opening film for the mainland’s Golden Rooster Film Festival due to vague “internal production problems,” according to Chinese film website Mtime. Speculation has been spreading online that it will also be yanked from its currently scheduled December 7 nation-wide theatrical release.
“Saturday Fiction” is now the sixth film to run into trouble at a film festival due to Chinese government interference this year, as authorities step up censorship and their enforcement of a new law that says films cannot be screened abroad without a particular license allowing them to do so. “Saturday Fiction” was set to screen in the Golden Rooster festival as part of the “new local films” section. This year, the Xiamen-based event is scheduled to take place at the same time as Taiwan’s more prestigious Golden Horse Film Festival, with both culminating in their own rival award ceremonies on Saturday.
