Movieception?

Stomper Anonymous was enjoying a screening of Japanese animated film 'Kaguya-sama: Love is War - The First Kiss Never Ends' at Golden Village (GV) in Plaza Singapura when he noticed something concerning.

A fellow cinemagoer was taking a video of the cinema screen on their mobile phone.

Anonymous said the incident occurred in Hall 6 on March 17, at 12.49pm. He was seated at J08 while the offender was seated directly in front at I08.

He told Stomp: "The person was filming the movie. I believe it was because their partner was late, but it doesn't matter how much of the movie was filmed as it's illegal.

"Please do not commit such an irresponsible act. These films, especially the GV-exclusive anime films, were once at risk of being cancelled in local cinemas due to leaks.

"You love your favourite anime films? Then make sure not to compromise the integrity of these films."

Stomp has contacted Golden Village for more info about the incident.

Recording of any kind is prohibited in GV theatres.

Or in any cinema, actually.

Doing so could be flouting the Copyright Act and you may be fined up to $200,000.
