Bbfc classifications
- 1. BBFC The British Board of Film Classification is an independent, nongovernmental body which has classified cinema films since it was set up in 1912. The British Board of Film Censors was set up in 1912 by the film industry as an independent body to bring a degree of uniformity to the classification of film nationally. Statutory powers on film remain with the local councils, which may overrule any of the BBFC’s decisions, passing films we reject, banning films we have passed, and even waiving cuts, instituting new ones, or altering categories for films exhibited under their own licensing jurisdiction. We think that our film “ESCAPE” will be rated by the BBFC. Usually, the BBFC consider that the film rated 15, use to have the following characteristics: -strong violence -frequent strong language (eg 'fuck'). -portrayals of sexual activity -strong verbal references to sex -sexual nudity -brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence -discriminatory language or behaviour -drug taking We decided to rate our film with this clasification because we will have scenes with strong violence and strong lannguage sometimes. There will be no nudity, no discriminatory language or behaviour and no portrayals of sexual activity.
