The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) initially gave the film 'Dreamboi' an X rating.
Director Rodina Singh appealed the decision twice, arguing the film is a mature exploration of sexuality.
Filmmaker Antoinette Jadaone expressed support for Singh, noting her tenacity after the repeated X ratings.
'Dreamboi' has now been rated R-18 by the MTRCB on its third appeal, allowing it for public screening.
Starring Tony Labrusca and EJ Jallorina, 'Dreamboi' is described as an erotic thriller exploring trans desire.
The film is part of this year's CineSilip Film Festival, running from October 22 to 28 in Ayala Malls Cinemas.
