what is the bbfc?

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) are the people who classify films from U to R18 here is their booklet about 

them self.  

1.The British Board of Film

Classification (BBFC) is an 

independent, non-governmental body

funded through the fees it charges to

those who submit films and video

works for classification. Here, and

throughout the Guidelines, video

works are taken to include video

games, and films and programmes

released on DVD or Blu-ray, or 

distributed by means of download 

or streaming on the internet.  

2.The BBFC classifies films on behalf

of the local authorities who license

cinemas under the Licensing Act 2003. 

3.The BBFC classifies video works

which are released as video 

recordings under the Video

Recordings Act 1984. (The video

games covered by the VRA are those

whose exemption is forfeited under

section 2(2) because they depict

human sexual activity, gross violence

or other matters of concern.) 

4.The BBFC classifies video works

which are distributed other than as 

a video recording (for example, by

means of download or streaming 

over the internet) under a voluntary

scheme called BBFC.online.

5.The BBFC will not classify material

which it believes to be in breach of

the criminal law.

How our film will be rated:

12+ it will contain suggestive violence and not much strong language.

other films in our genre have been rated around the same or higher depending on how they want to show the deaths.]
