Ah but is it Art?

Due to working rules they can only do a nine hour day so had to split it over two days

He has a point though, the classification system is strange to say the least

Wicked sense of humour to make a point ! Imagine the intern that had to sit through 10 hours of the film. Or maybe BBFC outsourced it to India

Brit censors endure 10-hour Paint Drying movie epic • The Register

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has determined that Charlie Lyne's 10-hour Paint Drying contains "no material likely to offend or harm", and has accordingly awarded it a "suitable for all" U certificate.

Nicely described by the BBFC as "a film showing paint drying on a wall", Paint Drying is the result of a Kickstarter campaign aimed at highlighting the "prohibitively expensive" cost of presenting cinematic works for classification.

The BBFC charges a £101.50 submission fee and £7.09 per minute of film. However, it is obliged to sit through every single frame of material, so Lyne decided he'd make the censors work for their money.

He originally planned to raise £109 for a symbolic one-minute submission of paint drying, but ultimately attracted pledges of £5,936, financing an extended 607-minute submission to the BBFC.
