Suitable only for 15 years and over

No one younger than 15 should see a 15+ rated film in a cinema. and no one younger than 15 may rent or buy a 15+  rated video/film.

Theme and Plots

No theme or plot is forbidden as long as it does not focus on pain or unnecessarily dark plot lines.

Discrimination

The film must not positively show/represent discriminative language or racists behaviour as good or expectable in any way or means.

Drugs and Drug use

Drug taking may be shown but the film must not promote or encourage drug use. The use of easily accessible and highly dangerous substances are unlikely to be used.

Horror and Violence

Violence may be used but should not focus on the cause of pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable as well as strong sadistic or sexualised violence.

Imitable behaviour

Dangerous behaviour should not focus on details which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be used.

Language

The use of large amounts of strong language is often acceptable unless used for unclear purpose or repeated for a extended time.

Nudity and Sex

Sexual activity may be shown without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Films were the primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

Our Film

I feel that our film fits into the category of 15 as by no means does it encourage or show acceptance to the violent and illegal acts that happen throughout the film but it does use realistic and mildly offencive scenes to bring the viewers closer to the protagonist.
