The Films, Videos and Publications Act requires all films for public exhibition to be classified. There are five standard classifications which may sometimes have a cautionary note attached.
 |
These films are for general viewing. However, G does not conclusively mean a children's film because many of these productions contain content that would be of no interest to children. The content is very mild. |
 |
These films contain material that a parent might need to explain to younger children. The content is mild. |
 |
These films contain material that requires a mature perspective. The content is moderate. |
 |
People under 15 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian for the duration of the film in the cinema. Parental permission to see an MA 15+ film is not sufficient. People under 15 are not permitted to hire or buy films classified MA 15+. The content is strong. |
 |
People under 18 cannot see these films in the cinema or buy or hire them. High impact content. |
Please note that for all Restricted films suitable proof of age will be required at the Ticket Office to purchase tickets and also enter the cinema. It is recommended that a birth certificate, drivers license or Photo ID which displays a DOB is used as proof of age for restricted films.
