A film festival in Spain has refused to show Eva Longoria's latest film – because censors have edited out its lesbian scenes.

The film - entitled Without Men - stars the 36 year-old Mexican actress as the mayor of a village which loses all of its men when they're recruited by guerilla revolutionaries.

 

It also stars actor Christian Slater.

 

"We received a statement from the distributor in Spain saying that when the film premieres it will have the lesbian scenes removed," Xavier Daniel, director of the Barcelona International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, told AFP.

 

"We are very angry that a distributor can modify the content of a film," he added.

 

"The audience will not understand the film, because all the lesbian scenes are cut out," Daniel said. "It is unbelievable in the year 2011."
