Thus, right owners and others who wish to broadcast their content must submit it to the Film Classification Committee for examination and classification at least twenty-one days before the selected date for showing, NFA said in a press release.
Such audiovisual content include feature films, short films, TV series, selected TV programs, documentaries, advertisements, music videos which are meant for public exhibition and broadcasting.
