PG-rated gay film seized en route to Ottawa film fest

Canada's border guards are holding prints of three films destined for a gay film festival in Ottawa, and they won't release them until they've had the chance to watch them from beginning to end.

That poses a problem for Inside Out, a Toronto-based film festival with an annual Ottawa satellite program. They intended to show all three films this weekend. Without the prints, they're left scrambling to find grainy lower-quality copies to show audiences.

They're pissed.

No doubt. All three of the films have screened in Canada before and one of them is – get this – rated PG.
