But free money is not the same as free speech. Nobody is stopping any of these filmmakers from making their films; they’re simply stopping the cheque. It would not seem unreasonable that any truly “bold” “courageous” “radical” “transgressive” content should have to work a little to find a publisher, producer or distributor.

Putting you in jail for your movie is censorship. Refusing to hand out taxpayers’ money for your masturbatory fantasies is nowhere close.

If your art is so good, then you should be able to find backers.
