The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) has suspended the filming permit for a project following a traffic accident earlier this week that injured 12 crew members.
The incident occurred during a high-speed driving sequence, which the Public Security Police (PSP) had previously deemed unsafe for filming at Rua do Seminário.
The IC convened an interdepartmental meeting to evaluate the situation and determined that the filming crew had failed to comply with safety guidelines. As a result, the project is now prohibited from filming in Macau, and the IC has requested a detailed report from the production company, which could lead to the permit’s permanent revocation.
According to IC regulations, the bureau is responsible for assessing filming license applications, particularly for projects involving complex technical requirements. Prior to the accident, officials had expressed concerns about the location’s suitability for high-speed maneuvers.
The injured crew members, who included residents from Macau, mainland China, and Singapore, have since been released from the hospital. The driver, who lost control of the vehicle, passed an alcohol test and was reportedly unfamiliar with the area. Victoria Chan
