Singapore censored films Princess and Solos from their annual film festival this week over explicit religious and sexual content. The animated film Princess, which was directed by Danish Anders Morgenthaler, was cut from the program because of its blasphemous subject matter. The film is about a priest who tries to cover up a dead sister's past as porn star. There is a scene where the sister, dressed up in a nun's outfit, has a cross protruding from her rear. Though it's being censored, Princess opened in the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival last year in May. Also cut from the program is Solos, a native film about a homosexual relationship between a man and a boy. The Singapore's Board of Film Censors claimed that the film had obscene homosexual lovemaking scenes as well as scenes with oral sex and a threesome.
