BBFC Ratings

Andromeda BBFC Rating

We are going to rate our film a 12A in alignment with the British Board of Film Classification, or the BBFC. We decided this for our movie due to the rules and restrictions set by the BBFC. 12A, or 12 Accompanied/ Advisory, means it is suitable for those aged 12 and above if accompanied by an adult.

In terms of discrimination, language and behaviour must not be current throughout. Overly aggressive language and behaviour is not acceptable unless clearly condemned.

Misuse of drugs must be infrequent and cannot and should not be glamorised.

Potentially dangerous behaviour should not be promoted if children are likely to copy it. Glamorising realistic weapons, like knives, must be avoided. Anti-social behaviour cannot be endorsed.

Strong language is permitted, depending on; the manner in which it is used, who is using the language, its frequency, and any contextual justification.

Nudity and sex is permitted, however it must be brief and discreet.  Moderate sexual references are permitted, but frequent crude references are not likely to be acceptable.

Moderate physical and psychological threat/ hour scenes. The overall tone should not be threatening.

There may be violence but it should not be overly threatening. No emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory content if justifiable.
