Certification

We chose to label our film opening as a 15 certificate as the terms agree with our our content. The highlighted bits are the ones who specially refer to our opening.


A film must not endorse discriminatory language or behaviour. Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. Strong horror threat and menace are permitted unless sardistic or sexualised. Imitable behaviour such as danngerous behaviour, e.g. hanging,suicide,and self harming should not dewll on detail which could be copied. Easy accessible weapons should not be glamourised. In a certificate 15 film there my be frequent use of strong language, The strongest terms may be used but only if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is very unlikely to be acceptable. Nudity may be allowed in a sexual content but without strong detail. There are no limits on nudity in a non-sexual or educational content. Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail.There may be strong references to sexual behaviour but yet again the strongest term must be justified by the context. No theme in a 15 film is prohibited, provided the treatment is appropriate for 15 year olds. Violence may be strong but should not focus on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but only portrayed of sexual violence must be discreet and have strong contextual justification.
