BBFC The British Board of Film Classification
The BBFC rate films before they are released in cinemas. These days there are five certificates for cinema films
- U - Universal; everyone can watch it.
- PG- Parental Guidance (minors)
- 12A- Age 12 has to be with an Adult
- 15- Any one above -15 can watch the film. (Teenagers)
- 18- Only Adults
In theory, anyone can see a U or a PG, although you and your parents and teachers are encouraged to think carefully about whether a PG film will be suitable for you if you are younger than 8 or 9 years old.
With 12A films you must be 12 or older to go and see them, unless you have an adult with you. It is up to that grown-up to decide that you won’t be upset or disturbed by anything you see.
Anyone wanting to release a film, video or DVD for showing in cinemas or watching at home has to make sure that their film has a BBFC age rating symbol. It's against the law to try and sell videos and DVDs without this. Films that you see at the cinema also have to display the right rating.
This will help us rate our film. i will probably be a 12A or above.
